In My Lifetime (Closing Version)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hey boy, you got the address
On the street of unknowns
Big man smokin' on a cigar
Dealin' on the telephone
Hey boy, look out for flim-flam
If you wanna go real far
Been there,
And I believe,
You got to be what you are
In my lifetime
In my lifetime
Hey boy, you look like a million
Hey now, show 'em what you got
Hey boy, what you got to run from?
I'll teach you all that I forgot
In my lifetime
In my lifetime
Hey boy, when you write a rock tune
You give up a piece of your soul
Stay boy underneath a rockin' moon
Try before you get too old
Hooray, got yourself a road gig
Any gig's gonna be fine
Okay, you gave up your real life
And I know why
In my lifetime,
I have been there
I have dreamed it
In my lifetime
L, I, F, E
In my
T, I, M, E
In my lifetime
(Holly Holy love)
In my lifetime
(Holly Holy love)
(Shilo, when I was young)
In my lifetime
In my lifetime
In my lifetime
In my lifetime
