Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey, oh

Hey, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

I'm taking my freedom

Pulling it off the shelf

Putting it on my chain

Wearing it 'round my neck

I'm taking my freedom

Putting it in my car

Wherever I choose to go

It will take me far

[Chorus]

I'm living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

[Verse 2]

I'm taking my own freedom

Putting it in my song

Singing loud and strong

Grooving all day long

I'm taking my freedom

Putting it in my stroll

I be high-stepping y'all

Letting the joy unfold

[Chorus]

I'm living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

[Verse 3]

I'm holding on to my freedom

Can't take it from me

I was born into it

It comes naturally

I'm strumming my own freedom

Playing the God in me

Representing His glory

Hope He's proud of me, yeah (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden)

Hope He's proud of me (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden, golden)

Oh, living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

[Bridge]

Living my life like it's golden

Golden, golden

Golden, golden

Golden

Living my life like it's golden

Golden, golden

Golden, golden

Golden

[Bridge]

Living my life like it's golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden, golden)

Golden, golden (Golden, golden)

Living my life like it's golden (Golden, golden, living my life like it's golden)

Golden (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden)

Living my life, living my life (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden, golden)

[Bridge]

Living my life like it's golden

It really matters to me, oh

[Outro]

Living my life like it's golden, golden

Golden, golden

Golden, golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden

Golden, golden

Golden, golden

Living my life like it's golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden)

Golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden)

Golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden, golden)

Living my life like it's golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden, living my life like it's golden)

Golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden)

Golden, golden (Living my life like it's golden, golden)

Living my life like it's golden, golden

Golden, golden
