Alive 'N' Kickin'

(앨범: It's About Time - 2003)

Back in the days of the 33 and 45
First time I remember feeling alive
Playing like a'ringing a bell 'n' I learned it off the radio
Sure it was only mama's broom but I was strumming like a fool
A true believer till the day I die
If you'd a plugged me in, in front of all my friends
I would'a set the living room on fire

I was alive
Alive 'n' Kicking
Like a time bomb ticking
Headed for the Hullaballoo
There were no big gigs in sight
No bright white-hot spotlight
But everybody knew that I was Alive 'n' Kicking

Got in a battle of the bands when I stole my big brother's guitar
Let me tell you, that'll never get you far
2000 Overnights later 'n' I'm still not on the radio

Got a new Best Friend
He was more than Sitting In
'N' we were making our mark on the road
Our regalia'd hit Full Sail
'N' we were trapped into the Mother Lode

We was alive
Alive 'n' Kicking
Like a time-bomb ticking
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
As far as we could see
It was the way it was meant to be
The whole world knew that we was
Alive 'n' Kicking

It's been miles 'n' miles
Still Alive
And picking

Now I'm in the daze of the downloading digital fights
Bit by bit, byte by byte
But everybody says it's music 'cause they hear it on the radio

'N' when I hit the stage I'm gonna rattle your cage
I still remember how to howl at the moon
And I can carry the load whether I'm on the road
Or jus' appearing in my living room

'Cause I am alive
Alive 'n' Kicking
Like a time-bomb ticking
This boy's ready to blow

Don't need to tell you why
I'm gonna love to do it 'til the day I die
Everybody's gonna know that I
Am Alive 'n' Kicking

We been rocking since '73
And just between you 'n' me
You better believe that we
Are alive
Alive 'n' Kicking
