This Is The Life For Me
(Wade Hayes/Chick Rains
I was born in Oklahoma in 196
My daddy played the honky tonk
Out on the county lin
One night he took me with hi
Through those swingin' door
And I heard that country musi
Saw that crowded dance floo
Dad made fifty dollar
And I stayed up 'til thre
And I though
This is the life for m
By the time I turned fourtee
I was pickin' lead guita
Everyday I went to schoo
And at night I played the bar
Two or three years late
I noticed something strang
All the looks that I was gettin
From the girls began to chang
I knew right then and ther
What I was gonna b
This is the life for m
This is the lif
The only one I want to kno
Everyday another tow
And every night another sho
Ever since I was a bo
I've had this crazy drea
Now I know it was meant to b
This is the lif
This is the life for m
Well I tried to go to college
Just to see if I was wron
But that ain't the kind of knowledg
That helps you write a country son
I got my education on the wild side of lif
Through a cloud of smoke so thic
That you could cut it with a knif
There was no doubt about i
As far as I could se
This is the life for m
This is the lif
The only one I want to kno
Everyday another tow
And every night another sho
Ever since I was a bo
I've had this crazy drea
Now I know it was meant to b
This is the lif
This is the life for m
Yeah this is the lif
This is the life for me.
