I used to be a hell raisin' hard livin' son of a gun,
I was always searchin' for the next bit of action or fun
I had the pedal to the metal each day
I was headed for an early grave
But that was long before you came to me

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light
Everything has changed, you take away my pain
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give
I'm livin' for you

I used to be a ramblin' run around honky tonk fool,
I like to spend my life every night on an old bar stool
I tried to drink all the whiskey I could,
Everybody said I was no good
But then you shined your light into my life

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light
Everything has changed, you take away my pain
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give
I'm livin' for you

I was runnin' on dangerous ground,
Destination six feet down
But darlin', your sweet love has rescued me

Now I'm livin' for you, every day of my life
I wanna be by your side, each and every night,
'Til the dawn's early light
Everything has changed, you take away my pain
I got a reason to live, it's the love that you give
I'm livin' for you
