Lyrics

LIVIN MORE N DYIN LESS
© Andy Taylor/Anthony Smothers/Chip Martin


Grandpa worked in a foundry, hot iron all day long
Said when the kids grow up and move away gonna open me up a pool hall
But the black lung got him it was hard to accept
He never saw his dreams and he lived with regret, oh no

Daddy's a mechanic workin nine to five
Dragging home every day feeling more dead than alive
He dreamed of the track, but doubts held him back
Now at night he's in a dark room, drinking jack
I grew up watching them in their misery
Now it's time to make a change in our family tree

LIVIN MORE, N DYIN LESS
PLAYING IT SAFE AIN'T THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS
I'VE GOT A FIRE BURNIN INSIDE OF ME
IF I FAIL OR SUCCEED, I'M
LIVIN MORE N DYIN LESS,
LIVIN MORE N DYIN LESS

I got a buddy who's a song writer, but he's a Lawyer by trade
His dream was some day every one in Nashville would know his name
He spent years on music row trying to get a yes
When he did they called him an overnight success oh yea

Tracy and Danni, from Boston Mass
Were taking a cake decorating class
They got an idea n went on Shark Tank
Mr Wonderful bought in and now they're making bank
I get inspired when I hear stories like these
Cuz one of these days they'll be talking bout me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The choices Dad and Grandpa made taught me
If you do what you love it will set you free

LIVIN MORE, (WOAAA)
LIVIN MORE, (WOAAA)
LIVIN MORE

CHORUS 3

LIVIN MORE, N DYIN LESS
PLAYING IT SAFE AIN'T THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS
I'VE GOT A FIRE BURNIN INSIDE OF ME
IF I FAIL OR SUCCEED,
I'M LIVIN MORE, N DYIN LESS
PLAYING IT SAFE AIN'T THE KEY TO MY HAPPINESS
I'VE GOT A FIRE BURNIN INSIDE OF ME
IF I FAIL OR SUCCEED, I'M
LIVIN MORE N DYIN LESS,
LIVIN MORE N DYIN LESS
