John Mellencamp In Our Lives Lyrics

In Our Lives Lyrics

Written by John Mellencamp 



Well I'm a middle-aged teenager

I'm a man of angst and leisure

Doin' the best that I can do

My problems are incorrect

I've always got it around my neck

Hey I'm just like you

Yeah I've done some good and I've done some bad

But the most fun that I ever had

Was singing my songs for you

And if I should go astray

I'd get down on my knees and pray

Say God forgive me for what I do



Oh in our lives

There's no right way for us to live it

You know in our lives

There's a time to cry and a time to forget it



Well I'm a broke down humble man

Baby that's just who I am

And that's from me to you

Well I feel good here

Got about a million more years

To do what it is I gotta do

And if some day you happen to be passin' my way

Say hi, hello, how are you

Well, I'll return the gesture in kind

And hope that things are fine

And you all just do what you gotta do



Oh in our lives

There's no right way for us to live it

Oh in our lives

There's a time to cry and a time to get with it

You know in our lives there's no right way for us to live it.



Well I'm a broke down humble man

That's just who I am

And that's from me to you

Yeah I'm a broke down humble man

Yeah that's just who I am

And that's from me to you



Oh in our lives

You know in our lives

Yeah in our lives there's no right way for us to live it
