All my friends, they sleep on the floor
We don't mind; we don't sleep anymore
If you want we can take a ride

to where the mountains fall and the sea meets sky

We were born poor, young, and happy

and we'll leave this world just the way came
We're gonna die poor, young, and happy
At least we feel alive today


All my life, I've been looking for something
I cannot define (but I know it when it happens)

All I want before I die
Is to write one song you'll remember me by


We were born poor, young, and happy
and we'll leave this world just the way came
We're gonna die poor, young, and happy

At least we feel alive today

I've lost my mind, but that's OK, I kinda like it

So much time that I wasted on such stupid %#@!
I'll still try my best to show
my love for my friends, my family, and rock n roll


We were born poor, young, and happy
and we'll leave this world just the way came

We're gonna die poor, young, and happy
At least we feel alive today
