i been livin’ like a drunken sailor

playin’ in a rock ’n roll band
A G D
far from a failure , i feel like a brand new man

smoking like a fiend and schemin’

dealin’ with the upper hand
A G D

your love takes me to a higher place

let’s go out honky tonkin’
dancing till the morning light
the time is now and this time i feel all right

i’m finally standin’ tall
i feel i just can’t fall
your love takes me to a higher place

for the first time , in a long time
i don’t stand accused
for the first time , in a long time
i feel brand new
life’s been kind , water tastes like wine
i feel so high like i’m on cloud nine
for the first time , in a long time
