Grumpy Old Men of Ottawa - Songs Of Life

When I was a little boy, mama gave me a real good toy
It was an old 6 sting guitar, from a time way back when
Well I practiced and played I did my best
I knew someday I was gonna pass the test
The music was rolling thru my soul, I'm going play it till I get old
When I met Billy ya we knew right from the start
When we played that music ah it played right from the heart
And all our friends ya they always used to sing along
They all told me John don t you ever stop singing your songs
We were singing our songs of life
We were living those songs of life
We were living and singing those songs of life
We were singing our songs of life
We were living those songs of life
We were living and singing those songs of life
Well there've been a few women, most we had to part
But I've got 4 beautiful children ah they're ever close to my heart
Sometimes my boys come down and see me sing and play
I know I'm going see one of my boys up on that stage one day
He'll be singing his songs of life
He'll be living those songs of life
He'll be living and singing those songs of life
He'll be singing his songs of life
He'll be living those songs of life
He'll be living and singing those songs of life
Now I'm getting older and I'm changing my rebel ways
I know I'm going to sing and play this guitar till my dying day
Let me tell all you young musicians all you girls and boys
If you've got the gift of music you're going to fill your life with joy
Keep singing your songs of life
Keep living those songs of life
Keep living and singing your songs of life
Keep singing your songs of life
Keep living those songs of life
Keep living and singing your songs of life
Well old musicians they never die
They just tune down and fade away
Keep singing your songs of life
Keep living the songs of life
Keep living in singing your songs of life
Keep singing your songs of life
Keep living the songs of life
Keep living in singing your songs of life
Singing the songs of life
Singing the songs of life
