This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud It's my life, and it's now or never But I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) Yeah, this is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks It's my life, and it's now or never But I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down It's my life, and it's now or never But I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive (alive) It's my life, and it's now or never But I ain't gonna live forever
