This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It’s my life It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive (It’s my life)

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
It’s my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
It’s for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain’t enough
You’ve got to make your own breaks

It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive (It’s my life)

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
It’s my life

You better stand tall when they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break, baby, don’t back down
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive (It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive (It’s my life)
