Live The Life

I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right and always shun the wrong If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone On the streets or in my home I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song Everyday, everywhere On a busy thoroughfare Folks may watch me, some may spot me Say I'm foolish but I don't care I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday I've got to live the life I sing about in my song Not for gold, not for fame But for the love of Jesus' name I must always walk the straight and narrow way Jesus told me in that day He will wash all my sins away Then I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right and always shun the wrong I can't sing one thing and live another Be a saint by day and a devil undercover I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
