My Sporting Life Lyrics - John Kay

Though I can't show you the years of my life 

That I spend on the road to freedom 

Don't let it throw you, I know of your strife 

I know what it's like to roam 

I sang 'em a glad song, played 'em a sad song 

Sang 'em the whole night long 

Just for a dollar or what they could offer 

To somebody's ramblin' boy 

When the fun was done, I would pack my bags and I was gone 

Though the women were kind there was nothing to bind me to 

one 

'Til somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways 

Somebody changed my ole carousing days 

Oh when I was a young boy I learned to survive 

'Til somebody came and stayed my sportin' life

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I lived in the barrooms the juke joints and gin mills 

I worked any dive in town 

Never to proud to pass my hat around 

In every place I found 

I'll sing you a glad song, play you a sad song 

Sing 'em the whole night long 

Just for a dollar or what you can offer 

To somebody's ramblin' boy 

There were times when lonely was the only feeling left in me 

Or when the cold and the rain made it hard on a man to be 

free 

'Till somebody changed my tough and hungry days 

Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways 

Now I don't really care no more 'bout nickels and a dime 

The one I love is all I need to help me spend my time 

Somebody came and rolled away my stone 

Somebody came, and she made me feel at home 

Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways 

Somebody changed my ole carousing days 

Oh when I was young boy I learned to stay alive 

'Til somebody came and stayed my sportin' life
