If you're thinkin that my life
Is a hoot and a holler
From the start of the day
To the dark of the night
Then its ringing like a bell
That you only wanna follow
And trust me when I say
Im just trying to get it right
Still I think about myself
As a lucky old dreamer
If youre asking me to tell
Is it worth what I paid?
Youre gonna hear me say
Hell yeah it is
And I say it loud
I loved it all
And I'm not too proud
I freed my soul
Just let it fly
Hell yeah this crazy life around me
It confuses and confounds me
But its all the life I've got
Until I die
Hell yeah it is
If youre asking for my time
Isnt much left to give you
Been around a good long while
So I gotta say it fast
Time is all we'll ever need
But its gotta have a meaning
Be careful how its spent
Because it isnt gonna last
I hear you wonderin' out loud
Are you ever gonna make it
Will you ever work it out?
Will you ever take a chance?
Just believe you can
Hell yeah you will
Gonna be okay
You might get lost
But then youll find a way
Dont go alone
Cant be afraid
Hell yeah this life is here
And its made for livin'
And loves a gift thats made for given
Give it all away and have it still
And hell yeah you will
I've been livin' in a bowl
With a lot of people starin'
With my feet on shaky ground
And my head up in the sky
But its where I wanna be
Its a life thats made for carin'
Got a song to pass the day
And a girl to share the night
So if they ask you when I'm gone
Was it everything he wanted?
When he had to travel on
Did he know he'd be missed?
You can tell them this
Hell yeah he did
He saw it all
He walked the line
Never had to crawl
He cried a bit
But not for long
Hell yeah he found the life that he was after
Filled it up with love and laughter
Finally got it right and made it fit
Hell yeah he did
Hell yeah he did
Hell yeah he did
