Bein' Alive

I was born in a Midwest town Lookin' for some trouble I was California bound I knew, I could find one or two She would take me for a ride Screaming down the road with the devil inside I knew, it was just a drive-thru Drinkin' all the poison soakin' up the sun I didn't really like her but I thought it was love for awhile Then hours turned to days And it all blew away And I chose to survive God I love being alive I gathered the pain in a paper cup Stood in the rain just to fill it up Some days, felt like anyway Job in the Bible got nothin' on me But the more that I cried the more I could see Somedays, felt like anyway Then there were times I was down on my knees Sayin' this is gonna break me this is gonna bleed for awhile Then hours turned to days And it all blew away And I chose to survive God I love being alive Oh Everything changes and everything breathes I'm riding on the edge I'm living the dream for awhile Then hours turn to days And it all blows away What a sacred ride God I love being alive God I love being alive God I love being alive Alive, alive God I love being alive
