lyrics

Livin' on a High
It feels like what I’m doin’s right
it feels so deadly cool out there
Seein’ who I wanna see
Bein’ simply me and free
Throwin’ all the keys away
No one’s comin’ in today
They can plead and beg, whimper and wail,
Ithink ’m livin’ on a high - I’m lovin’ livin’ on a high.
Seein’ who I wanna see
Bein’ simply me and free
and better times will know no end cause
I'm living on a high
I know they would love to peer over
and think I’m gone when I am sober
but the breeze that lifts and takes me up
Sweetly offers me the liquor of luck
And I drink and drink – and I laugh so loud
the high projects me to the safest cloud
Ithink ’m livin’ on a high - I’m lovin’ livin’ on a high.
Seein’ who I wanna see
Bein’ simply me and free
the best is yet to come
My high has just begun.
I think Im livin' on a high
I'm lovin' livin' on a high
Seein' who I wanna see
Bein' simply me and free
and better times will know no end
and they can plead and wail
But I'm living on a high
