Lyrics
DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE A RAINED ON ROOSTER
LIVE YOUR LIVE LIKE A RAINED ON ROOSTER
DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE A RAINED ON ROOSTER NO
WE ALL GOT SOME PAIN, WE ALL KNOW SOME STRIFE
TRYING TO GET BY IN THIS CRAZY WORLD
NOTHIN' GOES YOUR WAY, NUTHIN' GOIN' RIGHT
HOLDING ON EACH DAY SEARCHING FOR SOME LIGHT
(CHORUS)
NO ONE KNOWS YOUR NAME, ALONE IN A CROWD
TRYING TO KEEP YOUR FAITH IN THIS CRAZY WORLD
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH, TRYING TO STAY PROUD
AS LIFE JUST PASSES BY, TRYING TO KEEP YOU DOWN
(CHORUS)
AS THE TIME GOES BY IN THE WINK OF AN EYE
THINK ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD
SOME MAY MAKE YOU LAUGH, SOME MAKE YOU CRY
MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE, STANDING BY YOUR SIDE
(CHORUS)
