It's another Saturday night attitude piece! Feeling independent today! If you've ever wanted to tell the world you claim your right to live your life in your own way, doing what you know you have to do, today's tune may stoke your heart fires!
The link to the performance is at the end. I got to thinking, and figure for those of us living our lives on our own terms, with no apologies for being who we have to be, this rock and roll anthem might make you feel like someone else knows the same feeling. And yes, he's from New Jersey! This song is about street smarts. Those of us who have ever had to make it on our own terms will know what this song is about.
It's My Life
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like the open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck, it ain't enough, you've got to make your own breaks
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like the open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like the open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
My heart is like the open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
Now for the concert! From one of our Pisces birthday boys, the in-your-face statement of freedom to live as we choose!
