Steve Moakler - Rather Make a Living lyrics

rate me

Drove out to California

Played for a dollar a day

To sing my songs while a few sang along

Was worth more than what I got paid

But I’ve got this crazy feeling

Everything’s gonna work out right

The odds are stacked but I won’t look back

I’m not going down without a fight

I’d rather make a living

Just being myself

I’d rather make a living being myself

Than a killing being someone else

Someone else

I could trade this guitar

For a tie wrapped around my neck

Grab a 401K, rent would never be late

I could cash my dreams for some check

I’d rather make a living

Just being myself

I’d rather make a living being myself

Than a killing being someone else

Someone else

Sometimes it ain’t clear where to go

Without a ladder to climb or a path to follow

But these dreams won’t let me go

I’d rather make a living

I’d rather make a living

I’d rather make a living

‘Cause you can’t call it living if you’re someone else

I’d rather make a living

Just being myself

I’d rather make a living being myself

Than a killing being someone else

Someone else

I’d rather make a living
