Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
I think you know the reason why

Sometimes the going gets so good
Then again it gets pretty rough
But when I have you in my arms baby
You know I just cant, I just cant get enough

Oh yeah

Everybody's gotta live (yes, they do)
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's tryna have a good time
I think you, I think you know the reason why

Somebody was standing on the corner yesterday baby
He couldn't hardly tie his shoes.
But he had a harmonica and a guitar strap
Wrapped 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's tryna have a good time
I think you know the reason why

I feel like I've seen just about a million sunsets
She said if your with me I'll never go away
That's when I stopped and took another look at my baby
She said if your 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 all alone
But when I woke up I took another look around myself
And I was surrounded by fifty million songs

Oh yeah
Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
Before you know the reason why

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