Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
I think you know the reason why
Sometime they go and get so good
But then again it gets pretty rough
But when I have you in my arms baby
You know I just can’t, I just can’t get enough
Oh yeah

Everybody’s gotta live, yes they do
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

I saw a blind man standing on the corner yesterday baby
He couldn’t hardly tie his shoes
But he had a harmonica and a guitar strapped around his neck
And he sure could, he sure could play the blues
Oh yeah

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

I feel like I’ve seen just about a, million sunsets
She said if you’re with me I’ll never go away
That’s when I stopped and I took another look at my baby
She said if you’re with me I’ll never go away
Because

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
Before you know the reason why

I had a dream the other night, baby
I dreamt that I was alone
But when I woke up I took a look around myself
And I was surrounded by fifty million strong
Oh yeah
Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
Before you know the reason why
Yeah

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
You gotta live, before you, know the reason why
