This Is the Life - Amy Macdonald

Oh the wind whistles down The cold dark street tonight And the people they were dancing to the music vibe And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair While the shy tormented youth sit way over there And the songs they get louder Each one better than before And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight Where you gonna sleep tonight? So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door But nobody's in and nobody's home 'till four So you're sitting there with nothing to do Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew And where you're gonna go And where you're gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning And your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go Where you gonna go Where you gonna sleep tonight Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Candy talks to strangers Thinks her life's in danger No one gives a damn about her hair It's lonely down on Track Street She used to go by Jackie The cops, they'll steal your dreams, and they'll kill your prayers Take a number where the blood just barely dried Wait for something better No one behind you Watching your shadows This feeling won't go Crooked wheels keep turning Children, are you learning Acclimatized, but don't you lose the plot A history of blisters Your brothers and your sisters Somewhere in the pages we forgot Take a number Jackie Where the blood just barely dried You know I'm on your side Wait for something better No one behind you Watching your shadows You got to be stronger than the story Don't let it blind you Rivers are shallow This feeling won't go Your sky is full of dreams But you don't know how to fly I don't have a simple answer But I know that I could answer Something better This feeling won't go Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it Wait for it

The hills make me wanna run and play Everytime I think of you And I wanna go up and sit right down And look at the ocean, so blue I wanna feel the breeze, blowin' in my face And let all things hang loose Whisper your name Feel no pain Relax and cruise This is the life, the life I was given This is the life, I love country livin' This is the life The life meant for me and you So I hope you get to live it too Yeah... And I hope you get to live it too I wanna get on my bike and ride that red dirt road From the cane fields to the shore I wanna skip stones, with my cousins As the ahi skim the ocean floor And as the sun goes down And the moon goes up, I can see the stars (see the stars) As we sit by that fire beneath our shack And jam our guitars This is the life, the life I was given This is the life, I love country livin' This is the life The life meant for me and you So I hope you get to live it too Yeah... And I hope you get to live it too Take the time, to unwind And let the island sooth your soul Feel the music everywhere And let Aloha take control 'Cause I can see the pain in your eyes From the pressures of today Open your eyes, we're in paradise And throw them all away This is the life, the life I was given This is the life, I love country livin' This is the life The life meant for me and you So I hope you get to live it too Yeah... And I hope you get to live it too Yeah... And I hope you get to live it too
