From the recording Mortal's Point Of View
Lyrics
The Music
When I was seventeen
I never thought I’d live
To see twenty
When I was twenty-five
I gave up my life
To make money
But then I found
I got lost in the sound
Set ‘em up
Knock ‘em down
When the band was around
The Music of my life
Always gets me by
When everything’s going wrong
And something gets me down
I can play around
The Music of my life
Papa always yelled that
I would never amount to nothing
Mama whispered to me
She knew that I would be something
So I broke out
Didn’t stick around
I just followed the sound
Giving love to the crowd
The Music of my life
Always gets me by
When everything’s going wrong
And something gets me down
I can play around
The Music of my life
