My Life and I Am Living High---
MY LIFE AND I’M LIVING HIGH—
I’m just traveling down life highways;
Made many bad choices;
Listened to all of the wrong voices;
And my reply was;
It wasn’t me at all;
So I do or die Lord;
Oh!, so I choose to live so
Now it’s my life and I’m living high;
And I no longer want to be that guy
It’s my life and I’m living high;
I need help from God so that I can get by;
It’s a time in my life when I thought I knew it all;
A time when I’ve got but then just drop the ball;
A time when walking I wasn’t right wandering blind folded;
Always in trouble always beholden;
Oh!, so I choose to live so
Now it’s my life and I’m living high;
And I no longer want to be that guy
It’s my life and I’m living high;
I need help from God so that I can get by;
Yet I live and I cry
So I stop to look then I try
As I pick up the pieces of my life
I rise again… I rise on
Now it’s my life and I’m living high;
And I no longer want to be that guy
It’s my life and I’m living high;
I need help from God so that I can get by
