Story behind the song
What can I say? I was in a good mood! I just wish there was a "Ragtime" category; this song puts me in mind of Randy Newman...
Lyrics
LIVING THE LIFE I CHOOSE
V1>
When it comes to money, I don’t have a lot.
I know what I’m missing and I know what I got.
I sing a Love song instead of the Blues,
‘Cause I’m living the life I choose.
V2>
Don’t have a chauffeur or a big limousine.
Know where I’m going and I know where I’ve been.
I’m happy wearing out these old beat-up shoes,
‘Cause I’m living the Life I choose.
Bridge>
One in the morning, and outside it’s storming,
But that doesn’t bother me none.
I know when I rise you’ll look into my eyes
With a smile as bright as the Sun.
V3>
So I’ll keep going just the way that I am.
May not be rich but I’m a wealthy man.
I’ve got your Love and I got nothing to prove,
So I’m living the life I choose.
I sing a Love song instead of the Blues,
‘Cause I’m living the life I choose.
Yes, I’m living the life I choose.
