This Is Where I Live

I was born in Memphis

In a different world

Now that time has come and gone

I was just a little boy

When I heard Sam Cooke singing

A change is gonna come

It touched my soul

And let me know

There's a promise of a brand new day

Then I left my home

Started out on my own

This is where I live

This is where I live

This is where I give

All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime

This is where I live

I was just sixteen when I hit New York

Singing in a big old band

I couldn't believe the things I saw and heard

But it sure enough made me a man

In a hotel room I wrote me a song

And it took me all around the world

And now I spend all my time playing music making rhymes

This is where I live

This is where I live

This is where I give

All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime

This is where I live

I've been around the world

Now I'm heading home

She'll be waiting when I walk in

Got a oneway ticket on the redeye express

Man it's good to be home again

This is where I live

This is where I live

This is where I give

All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime

This is where I live

This is where I give
