Verse:
Main Riff
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
Main Riff
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
Chorus:
Its My Life,
Its Now Or Never,
and 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

Main Riff
This is for the ones who stood their ground
Main Riff
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
Chorus:
Its My Life,
Its Now Or Never,
and 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

Final Verse:
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Chorus:
Its My Life,
Its Now Or Never,
and 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
