Time is flowing steady as it rains down on my head
While you're sleeping I'm just standing here between these harmonies
Every morning with your hand you start look for me on the bed
But this call is simply stronger I can't stay more over there
With my coffee and cigarettes my sweet night with you will end
I'll take up my old guitar and pay tribute for a new day
That's not good, that's not right
Is not easy what I like
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to stay alive
It's not smart yes I know
I don't need to be a star
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to be alive
As the life slips away people change their interests
All my friends found new goals other aims to follow up
I don't care about politics
I'll not drive new fast cars
I don't watch to much TV
I don't need to make more cash
Since I was a little child doesn't care what else I tried
Every day every night there was music on my mind
That's not good that's not right
Is not easy what I like
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to stay alive
It's not smart yes I know
I don't need to be a star
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to be alive
While I'm playing in the morning I can hear my child wake up
I open wide the window to let the light come in
You kiss me in the mouth that's how you light the sun
With the beauty of your smile our day is going to start
Now I'm old and tired and I have my love beside
But nothing change my mind while I'm holding my guitar
That's not good that's not right
Is not easy what I like
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to stay alive
It's not smart yes I know
I don't need to be a star
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to be alive
That's not good that's not right
Is not easy what I like
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to stay alive
It's not smart yes I know
I don't need to be a star
That's not good that's not right
That's my way to be alive
