This Is The Life For Me

(wade hayes/chick rains)



I was born in oklahoma in 1969

My daddy played the honky tonks

Out on the county line

One night he took me with him

Through those swingin' doors

And i heard that country music

Saw that crowded dance floor

Dad made fifty dollars

And i stayed up 'til three

And i thought

This is the life for me



By the time i turned fourteen

I was pickin' lead guitar

Everyday i went to school

And at night i played the bars

Two or three years later

I noticed something strange

All the looks that i was gettin'

From the girls began to change

I knew right then and there

What i was gonna be

This is the life for me



This is the life

The only one i want to know

Everyday another town

And every night another show

Ever since i was a boy

I've had this crazy dream

Now i know it was meant to be

This is the life

This is the life for me



Well i tried to go to college

Just to see if i was wrong

But that ain't the kind of knowledge

That helps you write a country song

I got my education on the wild side of life

Through a cloud of smoke so thick

That you could cut it with a knife

There was no doubt about it

As far as i could see

This is the life for me



This is the life

The only one i want to know

Everyday another town

And every night another show

Ever since i was a boy

I've had this crazy dream

Now i know it was meant to be

This is the life

This is the life for me



Yeah this is the life

This is the life for me.
