John Mellencamp — In Our Lives lyrics

Lyrics

Well I’m a middle-aged teenager
I’m a man of angst and leisure
Doin' the best that I can do My problems are incorrect
I’ve always got it around my neck
Hey I’m just like you
Yeah I’ve done some good and I’ve done some bad
But the most fun that I ever had
Was singing my songs for you
And if I should go astray
I’d get down on my knees and pray
Say, ‽God forgive me for what I doâ€
Oh in our lives
There’s no right way for us to live it You know in our lives
There’s a time to cry and a time to forget it Well I’m a broke down humble man
Baby that’s just who I am And that’s from me to you
Well I feel good here
Got about a million more years
To do what it is I gotta do And if some day you happen to be passin' my way
Say, ‽Hi, hello, how are you?â€
Well, I’ll return the gesture in kind
And hope that things are fine
And you all just do what you gotta do Oh in our lives
There’s no right way for us to live it Oh in our lives
There’s a time to cry and a time to get with it You know in our lives there’s no right way for us to live it Well I’m a broke down humble man
That’s just who I am And that’s from me to you
Yeah I’m a broke down humble man
Yeah that’s just who I am And that’s from me to you
Oh in our lives
There’s no right way for us to live it Oh in our lives
There’s a time to cry and a time to get with it You know in our lives there’s no right way for us to live it Oh in our lives
There’s no right way for us to live it
