Ronnie Milsap - My Life lyrics

I want to know If I walk down a certain road, it was my choice And I want to know If I had something to say, I raised my voice I don't wanna wake up a little too late And say I could've done this or I should've done that When I close my eyes at night I wanna know I'm doing the best I can When I'm sittin' there In my rocking chair, looking at my life I hope to God I would've done Something good with my life At the end of the day, I can only pray That I can look back and say I lived my life, oh, I lived my life Don't want to take my father's father's path I gotta make my own Don't want my epitaph to read "Wish they could've known me" I don't want that carved in stone I want to leave this place With a smile on my face Knowing what's in my heart Didn't just stay in my heart And whatever heaven gave me I want to know I gave it all back When I'm sittin' there In my rocking chair, looking at my life I hope to God I would've done Something good with my life At the end of the day, I can only pray That I can look back and say I lived my life, oh, I lived my life When I'm sittin' there In my rocking chair, looking at my life I hope to God I would've done Something good with my life At the end of the day, I can only pray That I can look back and say I lived my life, oh, I lived my life Well, I want to be an open book Say I gave more than I took My life, I lived my life, I lived my life
