I used to be a hell raisin' hard livin' son of a gun,
I was always searchin' for the next bit of action or fun.
I had the pedal to the metal each day.
I was headed for an early grave.

But that was long before you came to me.

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light.
Everything has changed, you take away my pain.
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.
I'm livin' for you.

I used to be a ramblin' run around honky tonk fool,
I like to spend my life every night on an old bar stool.
I tried to drink all the whiskey I could,
Everybody said I was no good.
But then you shined your light into my life.

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light.
Everything has changed, you take away my pain.
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.
I'm livin' for you.

I was runnin' on dangerous ground,
Destination six feet down.
But darlin', your sweet love has rescued me.

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life.
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light.
Everything has changed, you take away my pain.
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give.
I'm livin' for you.
