about

This is the first family song I ever performed, and I remember what a rush it was getting kids to sing along on the chorus. Still a favorite at shows.

lyrics

C F C
Don’t wanna sulk around with my head held down
G
That’s not the way I wanna be
C F C
I’d rather smile and see the smiles coming back to me
G C
That’s the life for me
C
That’s the life for me
F C G
That’s the life for me
C F C
I’d rather smile and see the smiles coming back to me
G C
That’s the life for me
(CFC,CGC)

Don’t wanna stay in my room when the flowers are in bloom
That’s not the way I wanna be
I’d rather be outside on a swing or a slide
That’s the life for me

Don’t wanna be a fool ‘cause the others think it’s cool
That’s not the way I wanna be
I’d rather listen to my heart ‘cause I know it’s smart
That’s the life for me
