Everybody's gotta live, and everybody's gonna die
Everybody just wanna have a good, good time
I think you know the reason why
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody's gotta live, and everybody's gonna die

Everybody's gotta live, I think you know the reason why

Yeah, sometimes the going gets so good, yeah

But then it can get pretty rough, yeah

But when I have you in my arms baby

You know I just can't, I just can't get enough

Everybody's gotta live, and everybody's gonna die

And everybody’s gonna try to have a good, good time

I think you know the reason why

Saw a blind man standin' on the corner, baby, yeah

And he couldn't hardly tie his shoes, yeah

Harmonica and guitar strapped around his neck, oh

But he sure could, he sure could play the blues, yeah

Everybody's gotta live, everybody's gonna die, yeah

Everybody's gonna try to have a good good time

I think you know the reason why, yeah

Feel like I've seen a million sunsets, yeah

If you're with me I'll never go away

That's when I stopped and took a look at my baby

She said if you're with me, I won't go away

Because everybody's gotta live, and everybody's gonna die
