Everybody's Gotta Live (1972 Version)

Everybody's gotta live

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody's gotta live

I think you know the reason why

Sometime they go and get so good

But then again it gets pretty rough

But when I have you in my arms baby

You know I just can't I just can't get enough

Oh yeah

Everybody's gotta live yes they do

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody try to have a a good time

I think you know the reason why

I saw a blind man standing on the corner yesterday baby

He couldn't hardly tie his shoes

But he had a harmonica and a guitar strapped around his neck

And he sure could he sure could play the blues

Oh yeah

Everybody's gotta live

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody try to have a a good time

I think you know the reason why

I feel like I've seen just about a million sunsets

She said if you're with me I'll never go away

That's when I stopped and I took another look at my baby

She said if you're with me I'll never go away

Because

Everybody's gotta live

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody's gotta live

Before you know the reason why

I had a dream the other night baby

I dreamt that I was alone

But when I woke up I took a look around myself

And I was surrounded by fifty million strong

Oh yeah

Everybody's gotta live

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody's gotta live

Before you know the reason why

Yeah

Everybody's gotta live

And everybody's gonna die

Everybody's gotta live

You gotta live before you know the reason why
