I wanna live with no excuses and love with no regrets
Take the bad with the good and know I did my best
Walkin' in the sunshine and dancin' in the rain
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine

From rock-a-bye sweet baby 'til I hear the angels sing
From mama's tender kisses 'til I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin' and live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine

I came in this world with nothin', that's how I'll leave someday
And all that I'll take with me is the love I gave away
And it's love that makes a difference from a pauper to a king
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine

From rock-a-bye sweet baby 'til I hear the angels sing
From mama's tender kisses 'til I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin' and live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine

So roll on, roll on, tell the story turn the pages
Roll on, roll on, children of all ages
From the first breath that we take 'til our last one takes us home
Let love be the rock we're standin' on

From rock-a-bye sweet baby 'til I hear the angels sing
From mama's tender kisses 'til I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin' and live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of that long black limousine

I wanna live with no excuses, love with no regrets
