Lyrics
I'm Gonna Live A Little Better
(Verse One)
I've lived this life of mine.. like a yo-yo...
From the deepest valleys to the mountain tops
Paycheck to paycheck, if I had one, helping others anytime I could
It's time I start living this life of mine, like I figured.. I eventually would
(Chorus)
I'm gonna live a little better, than I have in the past
I'm gonna live a little more, and take a breath at last
I'm gonna live a little better as I live a little less
That means I'm gonna live a little more, playin life closer.. to the vest
(Verse Two)
I've had a lot of lovin, I've partied many a day
Worked my fingers to the bone, gambled paychecks away
Always dreamin to the future, that some would see as fate
Holdin to those memories, a very needed trait
(Chorus)
I'm gonna live a little better, than I have in the past
I'm gonna live a little more, and take a breath at last
I'm gonna live a little better as I live a little less
That means I'm gonna live a little more, playin life closer.. to the vest
(Verse Three)
So I guess it's time to jump in with both feet
It seems I tested the waters, I've crossed the street
Time to be moving forward with this latest plan
Surrounded by myself, being my own man...
(Chorus)
I'm gonna live a little better, than I have in the past
I'm gonna live a little more, and take a breath at last
I'm gonna live a little better as I live a little less
That means I'm gonna live a little more, playin life closer to the vest
