This Is The Life For Me

(Wade Hayes/Chick Rains)
 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.
