Lyrics

Right from early days from the moment I was born I would take my guitar in the early, early mornin' And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin' I could see the people from miles around comin' To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days, yeah Well we made it to the city, just me and my guitar That was where I found a freaky little bar And I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic He wanted me to sign away my life or something drastic But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it (ooh!) Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days Just playin' Well fame and fortune, I've let them pass me by No one in the country could say I didn't try To turn the people on and to play-ay-ay Well you can keep all the money and the places that go with it 'Cause all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it And all I wanna do is play-ay-ay Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it (ooh!) Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah
