Livin' The Dream

(album: Dangerous: The Double Album - 2021)

Mama don't pray for my success anymore, yeah
But mama still prays for me
Seeing the world ain't really seeing the world
Through a window from A to B
Between alcohol and women and Adderall and adrenaline
I don't ever get no rest
Sign my life away to be the life of the party
Yeah, to everybody else

I look like a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Living out a suitcase, trashing hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinking 'cause I need to, damn it, what a good life
Judging by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sitting here, sipping and bitching about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But y'all, it ain't as good as it seems, this living a dream is
Killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me, killing me, killing me

Another day, another venue
There's trouble to get into
And love ain't on the menu again
Lonely as an eagle
I meet a thousand people
Who think I got a thousand friends

Ooh
There's a stranger in the mirror
Ooh
But according to the pictures

I'm a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Living out a suitcase, trashing hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinking 'cause I need to, damn it, what a good life
Judging by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sitting here, sipping and bitching about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But y'all, it ain't as good as it seems, this living a dream is
Killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me, killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me, killing me

Ooh
There's a stranger in the mirror
Ooh
But according to the pictures

I'm a rockstar, in and out of cop cars
Living out a suitcase, trashing hotel bars
If I see the sunrise, it's 'cause I stayed up all night
Drinking 'cause I need to, damn it, what a good life
Judging by my long hair, you might think I don't care
Sitting here, sipping and bitching about a spot where
People would kill to be, kill to be, kill to be
But y'all, it ain't as good as it seems, this living a dream is
Killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me, killing me, killing me
Killing me, killing me, killing me
