Alive Songtext
von Lyfe Jennings

Back when I was sixteen
Always loved to daydream
Favorite song was Billie Jean
Had the jacket, the curl and everything
Used to ride a skateboard
Never really liked sports
My favorite cousin bought a four door Hummer
Dad in the car, crashed the very next summer

Well, man, cheer up
Next medic gettin′ dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don't let nothin′ but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain't like you gon' make it out alive


My first dog Benji
Benji was a mutt
Benji liked to bite folks
So Benji got locked up
I got my first white girl
She bought me a hat
My mama didn′t like her
So she made me give it back
Damn

Well, man, cheer up
Next medic gettin′ dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don't let nothin′ but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain't like you gon′ make it out alive

Memories, memories all in my head
Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya
I promise you, promise you, nothing′s forever
Memories, memories all in my head
Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya
I promise you, promise you, nothing's forever


Mama always blamed me
Daddy was ashamed of me
Them pills took the pain from me
But only temporarily
Then I hit puberty
But the girls wasn′t into me
I found my step dad′s magazines
My whole freshman year they called me vaseline

Man, cheer up, yeah
Next medic gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck
Follow your gut
Don′t let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up
And no matter what
You look him in the face, never play it safe, no
Gotta take a chance in life
It ain′t like you gon' make it out alive
