 x2
Early  morning in a motel  room,
Sunshine  trying to creep  on through.
Lost  sleep but I found  a tune,
Stuck  inside my head.
Cigarettes,  a tank of  gas,
Headed  off to nowhere  fast,
Gotta  find a way to make  this feeling last.
'Cause  I believe that  I,
Was  born with a song  inside of me.
Never  question why,
I  just keep on singing that melody.
And  as time goes by,
Oh  it's funny how time  can make you  realize,
 We're running out of  it.
On  the day that I die,
I  wanna say that  I,
Was  a man who really lived  and never compromised.
I  want to live out my days,
 Until the very  end,
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
A  part of dawn to be ashamed  of,
But  good people are supposed  to be up.
But  I found peace with this path  I took,
As  I lay down my head.
Crossroads  you gotta  choose,
Which  way could be win  or lose.
But  every morning my soul  seems to sing on through.
'Cause  I believe that  I,
Was  born with a song  inside of me.
Never  question why,
I  just keep on singing that melody.
And  as time goes by,
Oh  it's funny how time  can make you  realize,
 We're running out of  it.
On  the day that I die,
I  wanna say that  I,
Was  a man who really lived  and never compromised.
I  want to live out my days,
 Until the very  end,
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
 x2
 We are gone
 We are gone
Its  all over
Before  you  know
'Cause  I believe that  I,
Was  born with a song  inside of me.
Never  question why,
I  just keep on singing that melody.
And  as time goes by,
Oh  it's funny how time  can make you  realize,
 We're running out of  it.
On  the day that I die,
I  wanna say that  I,
Was  a man who really lived  and never compromised.
I  want to live out my days,
 Until the very  end,
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
 I hope they find  me in my home
 With my guitar  in my hands.
