Looking back on my wild years,
and all I put my folks through
I could have turned out so much worse,
so I sold a wild older tune
I was a spittin' image of my old man
Still I never started livin'
Until I started lovin' you
I walked into a whole lot of bars
Even crawled out of a few
Speedin' tickets on an old shovel head
Just, it never ran worth a damn
I tried college and it bored me to tears
I guess my color was a little too blue
Still, I never started livin'
Till I started lovin' you
All that ends in the bat of an eye
You give up living on your own
Crazy ways that feed me black and blue
I guess I never started living
Till I started loving you
Rearranging and changing my life
From alone to being with you
I'm walking out on a whole lot of nothing
Just to have something true
A fool with nothin' to do
Still I never started livin'
Till I started lovin' you
All that ends in the battle of the night
When you give up living on your own
I guess I never started living
Till I started loving you
I guess I never started livin'
Till I started lovin' you
