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.
