Lyrics

When I was a little boy, never lived a life of joy
The guys played way too rough for me and the girls had better toys
Then I heard "Ticket to Ride" on my daddy's 45
Got hooked on to that melody, my world became alive
And it will be what it will be
Whatever turns you on
When I was seventeen, I was awkward, I was green
Just drinking, smoking cigarettes, and school was not my scene
Then I hooked up with my band
All four aces in my hand
Went off to find my destiny, first record in the can
And it will be what it will be
Whatever turns you on
When I was twenty-nine, on a new thing, I was flying
My face on every magazine, all blown out of my mind
I had money, I had friends
There were nights that wouldn't end
I'd sing them songs of empathy and hope while I descend
And it will be what it will be
Whatever turns you on
Those times I went too far
When all I had was my guitar to try to work those feelings out
Then well within the hour, I would thank my higher power
For alleviating doubt and what it's all about
Now an older man, trying hard to understand
Life's not the destination, live each moment that I can
For another go-around
Do my thing from town to town
And fly a bit more gracefully, still wild, but settled down
And it will be what it will be
Whatever turns you on
Oh, yes, it will be what it will be
Whatever turns you on
Oh, whatever turns you on
Oh
