Well I ain't bragging, but you know it's true.
That I live my life making music for you.
I've had some good times and I've had some bad.
But I'd do it all again and I wouldn't be sad.

Well I lived in the house of joy 
and I lived in the house of gloom.
But if I don't die playing on stage,|
I'm gonna die in this hotel room.

Well I've been riding in them limousines.
And I've had my pictures in the magazines.
I've had some good girls and I've had some bad.
And I've had the ones that nearly drive you mad.

Well I lived in the house of joy
and I lived in the house of gloom,
But if I don't die playing on stage,
I'm gonna die in this hotel room.

Well my manager keeps telling me,
You've gotta keep on working to survive.
He's constantly reminding me,
the fact that making money ain't no jive.

I've traveled this wide world 
And I've sang my blues.
And I've played everything from jazz to Blue Suede Shoes.
I've played 'em in downtown. 
I've played to rednecks.
I've slayed 'em in one town, and I've died in the next.

Well I lived in the house of joy.
And I lived in the house of gloom.
But if I don't die playing on stage brother,
I'm gonna, 0 you know what I'm talking about.
Take me home ....
