This Is The Life For Me Lyrics - Wade Hayes

(Wade Hayes/Chick Rains) 

I was born in Oklahoma in 1969 

My daddy played the honky tonks 

Out on the county line 

One night he took me with him 

Through those swingin' doors 

And I heard that country music 

Saw that crowded dance floor 

Dad made fifty dollars 

And I stayed up 'til three 

And I thought 

This is the life for me

By the time I turned fourteen 

I was pickin' lead guitar 

Everyday I went to school 

And at night I played the bars 

Two or three years later 

I noticed something strange 

All the looks that I was gettin' 

From the girls began to change 

I knew right then and there 

What I was gonna be 

This is the life for me 

This is the life 

The only one I want to know 

Everyday another town 

And every night another show 

Ever since I was a boy 

I've had this crazy dream 

Now I know it was meant to be 

This is the life 

This is the life for me

Well I tried to go to college 

Just to see if I was wrong 

But that ain't the kind of knowledge 

That helps you write a country song 

I got my education on the wild side of life 

Through a cloud of smoke so thick 

That you could cut it with a knife 

There was no doubt about it 

As far as I could see 

This is the life for me 

This is the life 

The only one I want to know 

Everyday another town 

And every night another show 

Ever since I was a boy 

I've had this crazy dream 

Now I know it was meant to be 

This is the life 

This is the life for me 

Yeah this is the life 

This is the life for me.
