And you've
only got to be this way
And you've only got
what ain't in this way
Which is only trying to make
your life right
I've seen behind you a fuller place
Where the broken ups and the can'ts
all made inside of the sidewalk crack just to
pray and get paid back while a
bumblebeg just what he can from any man
with his held -out hand it's a love world
with a well -known fact if you beat my buddy
I'll beat you back but my grandpa
he told me one son they'll always be some I can't
put you on yeah
But she's only tryin' to live
her life right
Yeah, a lady livin' down the street
She's got pretty long arms
and she tickles me
With her trinkets and costumes
and plates of gold
She said
TV sets may replace the soul
But a bird lives outside a cage
Because it can't cage
himself inside
And his prison's non -existent
He knows no boundaries,
certain sap resistant
Make him the flesh, anchor the soul
Even heaven's a kingdom that's paved in gold,
yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And you've only got to be in this life
And you've only got
what you need in this life
Which is only trying to live
your life right
Too bad we're only living right now
And thinking back over our
past somehow
It seems that our existence
here is just a struggle too
To get back up there,
put mistakes to bone
And with the truth in mind,
no doubt that later on
God changed with time
to become the truth
That became your fame,
what's now caused you to change your game
Be new, be bold,
and keep ahead of the old
And don't watch out if you
do what you're told
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And you've only got to be in this life
And you've only got one
name in this life
Which is only,
trying to live your life right
