Living for a Song

Living for a Song-Jamey Johnson

I have slept on satin sheets

Dined with kings on wine so sweet

Made my bed out in the street

Living for a song

I spent a lifetime on the road

Like desperadoes chasing gold

Ive been bought and Ive been sold

Living for a song

Lifes so full of melodies

With words that rhyme and harmonies

Till I write mine Ill always be

Living for a song

I came to town a long time ago

And its really been good to me

As you all know

But all of us rhyme runners

And word hunters

Have some things

That weve been through

So I wrote this song hoping

I could tell some of em to you

I have slept on lifes highway

Muddy tears staining my face

A rhyme or two was a big payday

Living for a song

Using words from my life line

Forsaking all just for a rhyme

Building steps I know I cant climb

Living for a song

Lifes so full of melodies

With words that rhyme and harmonies

Till I write mine Ill always be

Living for a song

Till I write mine Ill always be

Living for a song
