Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
I think you know the reason why

Sometimes the going gets so good
Then again it gets pretty rough
But when I have you in my arms baby
You know I just can't, I just can't get enough

(Oh, yeah)

Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's try to have a good time
I think you, I think you know the reason why

I saw a blind man standing on the corner yesterday baby
He couldn't hardly tie his shoes
But he had a harmonica and a guitar strapped around his neck
And he sure could
He sure could play the blues

(Oh, yeah)

Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's try to have a good time
I think you know the reason why

I feel like I've seen just about a million sunsets
She said if your with me I'll never go away
That's when I stopped and took another look at my baby
She said if your with me I'll never go away

(Because)

Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
Before you know the reason why

I had a dream the other night baby
I dreamt that I was all alone
But when I woke up I took another look around my self
And I was surrounded by fifty million strong

(Oh, yeah)

Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
I think you know the reason why

Everybody's gotta live
And everybody's gonna die
Everybody's gotta live
(You gotta live!)
And everybody's gonna
(Choking sounds) die
