I was born in a Midwest town
Lookin' for some trouble, I was California bound
I knew I could find one or two
She would take me for a ride
Screamin' down the road with the devil inside
I knew it was just a drive-through

Drinkin' all the poison, soakin' up the sun
I didn't really like her
but I thought it was love for awhile
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love bein' alive

I gathered the pain in a paper cup
Stood in the rain just to fill it up
Some days felt like anyway
Job in the Bible got nothin' on me
But the more that I cried, the more I could see
Some days felt like anyway

Then there were times I was down on my knees
Sayin', "This is gonna break me
this is gonna bleed for awhile"
Then hours turned to days
And it all blew away
And I chose to survive
God, I love bein' alive

Oh
Oh woah
Oh
Oh woah

Everything changes, everything breathes
I'm ridin' on the edge, I'm livin' the dream for awhile
Then hours turn to days
And it all blows away
What a sacred ride
God, I love bein' alive
God, I love bein' alive
God, I love bein' alive

Oh yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Alive, alive
God, I love bein' alive
