SONG: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.
