Gene O'Quin – I'm Gonna Live the Life They Sing About lyrics

I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE

I CAN HEAR THE GLASSES TINKLING, SEE THE DANCERS SHUFFLIN' ROUND,
THE SINGER'S ON THE BANDSTAND, WITH THAT LONESOME COUNTRY SOUND.
I'M HEADING FOR THE ONLY PLACE THIS COUNTRY BOY BELONGS,
I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE THEY SING ABOUT, IN ALL THOSE COUNTRY SONGS.

CHORUS
I'M GOING WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE DIM AND PRETTY LADIES WAIT IN LINE,
TO GIVE ME WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, AFTER CLOSIN' TIME.
THE WOMAN I WAS LOVIN' WITH GAVE UP AND NOW SHE'S GONE,
I'M GONNA LIVE THE LIFE THEY SING ABOUT IN ALL THOSE COUNTRY SONGS.

THEY SING ABOUT THE FREIGHT TRAINS AND HOW THOSE BIG TRUCKS ROLL,
UP TO NOW I'VE STAYED BEHIND, BUT TODAY I'M GONNA GO.
IF YOU SEE CHARLEY PRIDE JUST SAY I'VE GONE TO SAN ANTONE,
TO LIVE THE LIFE THEY SING ABOUT, IN ALL THOSE COUNTRY SONGS.
REPEAT CHORUS
