lyrics

[Verse 1]
Moonlight on my front porch, I do not feel no pain
Just humming to the wind, this tune don’t need no name
It took a real long time for things to get this way
So I’ma soak it up, I don’t care what you say
Came up a crazy child in a Midwest town you know
Pops had to make me proud; the Marines is where he’d go
My momma held things down with Granny and Papa, so:
Right where you see me now is all thanks to those folks
And that’s why I do me, unafraid and to the max
[A] young bold American; how could you hate on that?
But even if you do, some real ones got my back
And even if they ain’t, I’d keep on track

[Hook]
‘Cause it’s my, my, my, my life and I live it
Just how I wanna live it
Right on down to the limit
‘Cause it’s my, my, my, my life and I live it
Just how I wanna live it
Right on down to the limit

[Breakdown]
You gotta move to the groove of what matters to you
You gotta move to the groove of what matters to you
You gotta move to the groove of what matters to you
You gotta move to the groove of what matters to you

[Verse 2]
Been 26 long years, and they ain’t stop me yet
Dun’ traveled coast to coast, yeah, east side to the west
North Carolina, California -- so, what’s next?
I give ‘em what I got, and still got so much left
I chose to entertain, so that is what I do
Come see the music man who lives his life for you

[Bridge]
My life... in song; sing along
My life... in song; sing along
My life... in song; sing along
C’mon and sing along

[Hook]
