I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right And always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd Or if I'm alone On the street or in my home I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song Every day, everywhere On that busy thoroughfare Folk may watch me, some may spot me Say I'm foolish, but I don't care I can't sing one thing And then live another Be a saint by day And a devil undercover I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right And always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd Or if I'm alone On the street or in my home I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song, yes! Every day, every night I must always walk in the light Some mistake me, underrate me Because I want to do what's right I can't go to church And shout all day Sunday Go out and get drunk And raise's all day monday (?) I've got to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song
