Intro

x2

Early morning in a motel room,

Sunshine trying to creep on through.

Lost sleep but I found a tune,

Stuck inside my head.

Cigarettes, a tank of gas,

Headed off to nowhere fast,

Gotta find a way to make this feeling last.

'Cause I believe that I,

Was born with a song inside of me.

Never question why,

I just keep on singing that melody.

And as time goes by,

Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,

 We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,

I wanna say that I,

Was a man who really lived and never compromised.

I want to live out my days,

 Until the very end,

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.

A part of dawn to be ashamed of,

But good people are supposed to be up.

But I found peace with this path I took,

As I lay down my head.

Crossroads you gotta choose,

Which way could be win or lose.

But every morning my soul seems to sing on through.

'Cause I believe that I,

Was born with a song inside of me.

Never question why,

I just keep on singing that melody.

And as time goes by,

Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,

 We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,

I wanna say that I,

Was a man who really lived and never compromised.

I want to live out my days,

 Until the very end,

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.

 We are gone

 We are gone

Its all over

Before you know

'Cause I believe that I,

Was born with a song inside of me.

Never question why,

I just keep on singing that melody.

And as time goes by,

Oh it's funny how time can make you realize,

 We're running out of it.

On the day that I die,

I wanna say that I,

Was a man who really lived and never compromised.

I want to live out my days,

 Until the very end,

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.

 I hope they find me in my home

 With my guitar in my hands.
