Rock
Bein' Alive
by Melissa Etheridge
Lyrics
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 a while
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
Well, Job in the Bible got nothin' on me
But the more that I cried, the more I could see
Some days
Felt like anyway
Then there were times I was down on my knees
Sayin', "This is gonna break me, this is gonna bleed for a while"
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love being alive
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Everything changes, everything breathes
I'm riding on the edge, I'm living the dream for a while
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
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
Alive, alive
God, I love being alive
