Bein’ Alive Songtext
von Melissa Etheridge

I was born in a Midwest town
Lookin′ for some trouble I was California bound
I knew, I could find one or two
She would take me for a ride
Screaming down the road with the devil inside
I knew, it was just a drive-thru

Drinkin' all the poison soakin′ up the sun
I didn't really like her but I thought it was love for awhile
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God I love being alive


I gathered the pain in a paper cup
Stood in the rain just to fill it up
Some days, felt like anyway
Job in the Bible got nothin' on me
But the more that I cried the more I could see
Somedays, felt like anyway

Then there were times I was down on my knees
Sayin′ this is gonna break me this is gonna bleed for awhile
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God I love being alive

Oh

Everything changes and everything breathes
I′m riding on the edge I'm living the dream for awhile
Then hours turn to days
And it all blows away
What a sacred ride
God I love being alive
God I love being alive
God I love being alive
Alive, alive
God I love being alive
