about

After listening to some of Elvis' gospel music, I wrote this. It's fairly generic and straight-forward and seems like it could have come straight from the early 60's church style music. Alike the music, the lyrics are fairly generic too. It was just a fun little tune I had to try before I moved on. (It's got the song WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN feeling to it as well.)

This is song #451.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

WELL, THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS. THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS.
IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN', COME ON OVER AND I'LL GIVE YOU A KISS.

THAT'S THE WAY LIFE'S ABOUT. THAT'S THE WAY LIFE'S ABOUT.
IF YOU WANT TO ROCK, COME ON CLOSER AND WE'LL SCREAM AND SHOUT.

THAT IS WHAT LIFE IS FOR. THAT IS WHAT LIFE IS FOR.
IF YOU WANT MY HUGGIN', COME ON OVER, AND I'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE.
(SOLO)
THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES. THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES.
THE WAY WE LIVE IS A FACT THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW.

THERE'S A WAY LIFE CAN BE. THERE'S A WAY THAT LIFE CAN BE.
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE, COME ON OVER, AND LIVE TO BE FREE.

THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS FOR. THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS FOR.
IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH ANOTHER, BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
