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 wanna 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

 Cos all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it

 All I wanna 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
