LIVIN' IT
VERSE
A hundred miles out of Amarillo.
What I’d give for a bed and pillow
Can't remember when I've had a good night’s sleep.
Damned old rodeo keeps me moving
It’s nothing glamorous and far from soothing
Just everything my world was meant to be
LIFT
But when they pull that gate—and holler out my name
Even through the dust it's clear to see
CHORUS
I'm living it—hands on the reins
I'm feeling it—let it be my day
Gonna ride that bull like the wind of a hurricane
I’m looking for—an eight to score
No cowboy—could ever ask for more
If there's ever been a perfect fit—well I'm living it
VERSE
Saddles hung and the horses trailered
A little break till we make Las Vegas
Just long enough to see my rose of San Antone
She'll be standing at the door awaiting
With every mile my heart is aching
Been away from her arms way too long
LIFT
And when I see that smile—the one that drives me wild
I'll tip my hat to the Man above
CHORUS 2
'Cause I'm living it—hands on the reins
I'm feeling it—let it be my day
Gonna love that girl like the sun's never coming up
She's ever'thing—I'm buckin' for
No cowboy could ever ask for more
If there's ever been a perfect fit—well I'm living it
BRIDGE
There’s two kind of dreams
A man lives in this life
The one that he chases.
And the one he holds at night
Instrumental
CHORUS 3
Yeah, I'm living it—hands on the reins
I'm feeling it—ever’ day's my day
Gonna ride this out like the wind of a hurricane
I’m a lucky man—by all accounts
I'll die a better man—on the day I dismount
If there's ever been a perfect fit—I’ m living it
TAG
I'm livin' it
Yeah, I'm livin' it
I'm livin' it
