Right from early days from the moment I was born
I would take my guitar in the early early mornin'
And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay
Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'
I could see the people from miles around comin'
To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days
Well we made it to the city just me and my guitar
That was where I found a freaky little bar
I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed
Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic
He wanted me to sing away my life or something drastic
But all I want to do is play-ay-ay
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days
Well fame and fortune I've let them pass me by
No one in the country could say I didn't try
To turn the people and to play-ay-ay
You can keep all the money and the places that go with it
'Cause all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it
All I want to do is play-ay-ay
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life
(Yes and I like it)
Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days
