The Man Who Loved Life Live at the Belly Up by The Jayhawks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't you take my hand?
Won't you be my friend?
Take my advice, go away
When the days get short
And the chips are down
Will you be there?
Will you stick around?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
And if thou shalt give
Thou shalt be deceived
This traveling band
Was not well received
No open arms, no reception lines
Just handlebars
Wearing five point stars

[Chorus]
Am I living in your dream?
We got the guns
(We got the guns)
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
He's the man, he's the man
He's the man who loved life
[Bridge 1]
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Served from different shores
(Ahh)
Am I living in your dream? Yeah
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Pretty metal green
(Ahh)
Can I ride upon your wings?
So free

[Verse 3]
In the canyon walls, there's a trusty lot
The stakes were high
And the sun was hot
You can rest assured as casinos rise
Buzz around my ears
Like the dragonflies

[Chorus]
Am I living in your dream?
We got the guns, we got the guns
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
He's the man, he's the man
He's the man who loved life
[Bridge 2]
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Heard a million stories
(Ahh)
Am I living in your dream? Yeah
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Pretty metal green
(Ahh)
Can I ride upon your wings?
So free

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 3]
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Heard a million stories
(Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la)
Am I living in your dream? Yeah
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream? Yeah

[Outro]
Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la
Ahh
Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la
Ahh
