This Is The Life For Me Lyrics

by: Chick Rains, Wade Hayes, and Gary Nicholson

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 till 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 stange

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

CHORUS

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

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah this is the life

This is the life for me
