Right from early days from the moment I was born
I would take my guitar in the early, early mornin'
And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay
Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'
I could see the people from miles around comin'
To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it
Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it
Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days, yeah

Well we made it to the city, just me and my guitar
That was where I found a freaky little bar
And I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed
Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic
He wanted me to sign away my life or something drastic
But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it
Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it (ooh!)
Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days
Just playin'

Well fame and fortune, I've let them pass me by
No one in the country could say I didn't try
To turn the people on and to play-ay-ay
Well you can keep all the money and the places that go with it
'Cause all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it
And all I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it
Well that's been my kinda life, my kinda life, yes and I like it (ooh!)
Well that's been my kinda life, yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere
Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah
My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah
My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah
My kinda life yeah, my kinda life yeah
