I used to be a hell raisin' hard livin' son of a gun,

I was always searchin' for the next bit of action or fun.

I had the pedal to the metal each day.

I was headed for an early grave.

But that was long before you came to me.



Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.

I wanna be by your side, each and every night,

'Til the dawn's early light.

Everything has changed, you take away my pain.

I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.

I'm livin' for you.



I used to be a ramblin' run around honky tonk fool,

I like to spend my life every night on an old bar stool.

I tried to drink all the whiskey I could,

Everybody said I was no good.

But then you shined your light into my life.



Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.

I wanna be by your side, each and every night,

'Til the dawn's early light.

Everything has changed, you take away my pain.

I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.

I'm livin' for you.



I was runnin' on dangerous ground,

Destination six feet down.

But darlin', your sweet love has rescued me.



Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.

I wanna be by your side, each and every night,

'Til the dawn's early light.

Everything has changed, you take away my pain.

I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.

I'm livin' for you.
