Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'ma gonna live until I die
I'm gonna laugh instead of cry
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die
[Verse 2]
They're gonna say, "What a gal"
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live, live, live till I die
[Verse 3]
The blues, I'll lay low, I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel, but until then
Hallelujah!
[Verse 4]
Gonna dance, gonna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live till I die
[Verse 5]
The blues, I'll lay low, I'll make 'em stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel, but until then
Hallelujah!
[Verse 6]
Gonna dance, wanna fly
I'll take a chance ridin' high
Before my number's up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live, live, live until I die
