Live for the Song Lyrics by Buck Johnson

Enjoying the Ride

2016

[Verse 1]
All of these faces, all of these places
Somehow they roll into one
Sunrise to sundown , big city, small town
Before you get there, you're already down
[Verse 2]
Oh, we ain't rich, but I ain't gonna bitch
Even when it all goes wrong
That's just a verse on the page
When you live for the song
[Verse 3]
You toss and you turn
As the diesel fuel burns
On a bus ride that don't ever end
You travel so far just to get where you are
Seems like somewhere you've already been
[Verse 4]
You pray and you hope you ain't selling your soul
For a dream you've been chasing too long
But it's worth it when hit the stage
And you live for the song
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, everyone's singing along
Falls right through ya', you feel your heart race
When the spotlight comes on
Suddenly you've come alive
When you live for the song
[Verse 5]
Adrenaline comes as the beat of the drums
Moves the earth right under your feet
With a screaming guitar you breathe in where you are
For a moment, life's so sweet
[Verse 6]
As you strike your last chord
The crowd yells, "one more"
So you plug it back in and play on
They let you know that they feel it too
They live for the song
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, everyone's singing along
Falls right through ya', you feel your heart race
When the spotlight comes on
Suddenly you've come alive
When you live for the song
[Bridge]
You turn out the light
But you can't sleep at night
So you stay up and write until dawn
Pray for the right words to come
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, everyone's singing along
Falls right through ya', you feel your heart race
When the spotlight comes on
Suddenly you've come alive
You live for the song
