(Verse 1)
When I was just a child, I learned some golden rules
I knew that there was something I could always hold on to
But there were many dreams that just turned out to be a lie
I decided young to make the best of every day until I die
(Chorus)
I know the taste of love is sweet
Sometimes, sweeter than honey
But I've got everything I need
Music, motorcycles and money
(Verse 2)
As I grow older, my life can't be the same
I know it's different now but there are things that never change
If I should live that long, don't want to waste away in bed
If I can't live the way I want to, I'd just as soon be dead
(Bridge)
I know that life can't always go the way it should
but life's been pretty good
I live the way I want to
I've never been afraid to live for today
So don't get in my way
You can't tell me what to do
