Living for a Song Songtext
von Jamey Johnson

I have slept on satin sheets
Dined with kings on wine so sweet
Made my bed out in the street
Living for a song

I spent a lifetime on the road
Like desperadoes chasing gold
I′ve been bought and I've been sold
Living for a song

Life′s so full of melodies
With words that rhyme and harmonies
'Till I write mine I'll always be
Living for a song


I have slept on life′s highway
Muddy tears staining my face
A rhyme or two was a big payday
Living for a song

Using words from my life line
Forsaking all just for a rhyme
Building steps I know I can′t climb
Living for a song

Life's so full of melodies
With words that rhyme and harmonies
′Till I write mine I'll always be
Living for a song

′Till I write mine, I'll always be
Living for a song
