Kenny Loggins Alive N` Kickin` Lyrics

Alive N` Kickin` Lyrics

Back in the days of the 33 and 45

First time I remember feelin' alive

Playin' like a'ringin' a bell 'n' I learned it off the radio

Sure it was only mama's broom but I was strummin' like a fool

A true believer till the day I die

If you'd a plugged me in, in front of all my friends

I would'a set the livin' room on fire



I was alive

Alive 'n' Kickin'

Like a time bomb tickin'

Headed for the Hullaballoo

There were no big gigs in sight

No bright white-hot spotlight

But everybody knew that I was Alive 'n' Kickin'



Got in a battle of the bands when I stole my big brother's guitar

Let me tell you, that'll never get you far

2000 Overnights later 'n' I'm still not on the radio



Got a new Best Friend

He was more than Sittin' In

'N' we were makin' our mark on the road

Our regalia'd hit Full Sail

'N' we were trapped into the Mother Lode



We was alive

Alive 'n' Kickin'

Like a time-bomb tickin'

On the cover of the Rollin' Stone

As far as we could see

It was the way it was meant to be

The whole world knew that we was

Alive 'n' Kickin'



It's been miles 'n' miles

Still Alive

And pickin'



Now I'm in the daze of the downloadin' digital fights

Bit by bit, byte by byte

But everybody says it's music 'cause they hear it on the radio



'N' when I hit the stage I'm gonna rattle your cage

I still remember how to howl at the moon

And I can carry the load whether I'm on the road

Or jus' appearing in my living room



'Cause I am alive

Alive 'n' Kickin'

Like a time-bomb tickin'

This boy's ready to blow



Don't need to tell you why

I'm gonna love to do it 'til the day I die

Everybody's gonna know that I

Am Alive 'n' Kickin'



We been rockin' since '73

And just between you 'n' me

You better believe that we

Are alive

Alive 'n' Kickin'
