bein alive

Melissa Etheridge

I was born in a Midwest town
Lookin for some trouble, I was California bound
I knew I could find one or two
She would take me for a ride
Screamin down the road with the devil inside
I knew it was just a drive-through

Drinkin all the poison, soakin up the sun
I didn t really like her
but I thought it was love for awhile
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love bein alive

I gathered the pain in a paper cup
Stood in the rain just to fill it up
Some days felt like anyway
Job in the Bible got nothin on me
But the more that I cried, the more I could see
Some days felt like anyway

Then there were times I was down on my knees
Sayin , This is gonna break me
this is gonna bleed for awhile
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love bein alive

Oh
Oh woah
Oh
Oh woah

Everything changes, everything breathes
I m ridin on the edge, I m livin the dream for awhile
Then hours turn to days
And it all blows away
What a sacred ride
God, I love bein alive
God, I love bein alive
God, I love bein alive

Oh yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Alive, alive
God, I love bein alive
