The Music Lives On

Well, I've been knocked down a time or two

Learnt some lessons, ain't that the truth

I've fallen off the wagon and climbed back on

From the mistakes I've made along the way

To the hits I thought I couldn't take

But when the sky clears, and the dust is good and gone

There's one thing that keeps me holdin' on

We've lost good ones along the way

Got broken-hearted 'cause she didn't stay

Me and God didn't see eye to eye

But now we've made it through the other side

Yeah, we've raised a little hell

Lord knows I took it too far myself

When you're lookin' down on me, I hope you see that

The music lives on

It just does somethin' to me

Somethin' I still can't explain

I wouldn't be who I am right now

If it wasn't runnin' through my veins

Just like alcohol and cigarettes

Them party pills and all the rest

Yeah, it's helped me through more than that stuff ever could

And so, it should

'Cause we've lost good ones along the way

Got broken-hearted 'cause she didn't stay

Me and God didn't see eye to eye

But now we've made it through the other side

Yeah, we've raised a little hell

Lord knows I took it too far myself

Yeah, I hope you're proud of me when you see that

The music lives on

I will fly the flag down here if you can hear us upstairs

Save me a guitar for when I get there, but for now

There's a baby on the way

With new love that's here to stay

Me and God still argue sometimes

Yeah, but now we're on the same side

We still raise a little hell

I can still take it too far myself

When you're lookin' down on me, I hope you see that

Yeah, I'm damn proud of who I am now

Hey pops, the music lives on

Yeah, the music lives on
