|
Drove out to California |
|
Played for a dollar a day |
|
To sing my songs while a few sang along |
|
Was worth more than what I got paid |
|
But I've got this crazy feeling |
|
Everything's gonna work out right |
|
The odds are stacked but I won't look back |
|
I'm not going down without a fight |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
Just being myself |
|
I'd rather make a living being myself |
|
Than a killing being someone else |
|
Someone else |
|
I could trade this guitar |
|
For a tie wrapped around my neck |
|
Grab a 401K, rent would never be late |
|
I could cash my dreams for some check |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
Just being myself |
|
I'd rather make a living being myself |
|
Than a killing being someone else |
|
Someone else |
|
Sometimes it ain't clear where to go |
|
Without a ladder to climb or a path to follow |
|
But these dreams won't let me go |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
'Cause you can't call it living if you're someone else |
|
I'd rather make a living |
|
Just being myself |
|
I'd rather make a living being myself |
|
Than a killing being someone else |
|
Someone else |
|
I'd rather make a living |
