Right from early days from the moment I was born   I would take my guitar in the early early mornin'   And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay      Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'   I could see the people from miles around comin'   To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay      Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere   Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days      Well we made it to the city just me and my guitar   That was where I found a freaky little bar   I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed   Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic   He wanted me to sing away my life or something drastic   But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay      Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere   Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days      Well fame and fortune I've let them pass me by   No one in the country could say I didn't try   To turn the people and to play-ay-ay   You can keep all the money and the places that go with it   Cos all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it   All I wanna do is play-ay-ay      Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)   Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere   Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days
