That's the Life

I wanna be from somewhere
I wanna stand for something
The price of my freedom
You couldn't pay me nothin'
I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me

When I go to the cafe
For to get my coffee
They know exactly what I want
They don't even ask me
And if I keep up the good work
Make a visit to the tip jar
Well, every couple days, now
They forget to charge me

I wanna be from somewhere
I wanna stand for something
The price of my freedom
You couldn't pay me nothin'
I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me

I say howdy to my neighbor
When I'm takin' out the trash can
And we talk about some bullshit
In the early evening breeze
And even though I am the new kid
And he's been living on the old block
We still ask each other how our day was
And that's the way it oughta be

I wanna be from somewhere
I wanna stand for something
The price of my freedom
You couldn't pay me nothin'
I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me

Who's talkin' bout a movement?
Who's talkin' bout money?
It shouldn't take a revolution
To get some milk and honey, oh-oh yeah
Who's talkin' bout living?
A little closer to the bone, yeah
Who's talkin' bout the one thing
I thought everybody wanted to be from somewhere

I wanna get off the outrage
I wanna get on the same page
I wanna ring in the new age
I wanna get off the screen
I wanna listen to the ancients
Find the glitches in the matrix
And get back to the basics
I betcha we could all agree

We wanna be from somewhere
We wanna stand for something
The price of our freedom
I hope nobody could pay you nothin'
I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me
With a special someone, yeah
That's the life of my dreams
