Lyrics
Bound To Live
Johnny?s settled with life on satisfactory terms
But what about Miss Alma, how here soul squirms
It?s trapped inside her body never to be free
Like a boat out on a river that never finds the sea
And what of all the millions that work from day to day
What of all those people that never find their way
Who followed all the rules but have nothing left to show
Except a few regrets for what they did not know
They are bound to live their lives and then
They are bound to give them back again
Some people find their place and then they set their souls to rest
Others have to settle for something second best
Still others catch a fever and they set out on the road
To try to find a place to ease their heavy load
They are bound to live their lives and then
They are bound to give them back again
Now I don?t need a box car to help myself feel free
And I don?t need a highway, the country for to see
All I need is you right now, come and lay down by my side
And until tomorrow morning we might be satisfied
?Cause we are bound to live our lives and then
We are bound to give them back again
Yes I am bound to live my life and then
I am bound to give it back again
