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
Golden
