Life For The Taking Lyrics

People say, look at the money they save
I don't believe that life's that way
An old man once looked at me in the eye
He seemed to sigh
He seemed to sigh, don't let life pass you by
He seemed to say he wanted me to run
'cause the old man was once a boy, and only young once
'Cause it's a life for the taking
Well it ain't no, ain't no mistaken
Well it's a life for the taking
I can remember when I was just a little kid
The big boys used to beat me up just a bit
But I learned young that I couldn't cry
My mama easn't gonna be by my side
'Cause it's a life for the taking
Well it ain't no, ain't no mistaken
Well it's a life for the taking
It's my life
I love my life
It's life for the taking
