This Is Where I Live

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was born in Memphis In a different world Now that time has come and gone I was just a little boy When I heard Sam Cooke singing A change is gonna come It touched my soul And let me know There's a promise of a brand new day Then I left my home Started out on my own [Chorus] This is where I live This is where I live This is where I give All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime This is where I live [Verse 2] I was just sixteen when I hit New York Singing in a big old band I couldn't believe the things I saw and heard But it sure enough made me a man In a hotel room I wrote me a song And it took me all around the world And now I spend all my time playing music making rhymes [Chorus] This is where I live This is where I live This is where I give All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime This is where I live [Bridge] I've been around the world Now I'm heading home She'll be waiting when I walk in Got a oneway ticket on the redeye express Man it's good to be home again [Chorus] This is where I live This is where I live This is where I give All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime This is where I live This is where I give
