My Sportin\x27 Life

My Sportin' Life - Steppenwolf

Though I can't show you the years of my life

That I spend on the road to freedom

Don't let it throw you, I know of your strife

I know what it's like to roam

I sang them a glad song, played them a sad song

Sang them the whole night long

Just for a dollar or what they could offer

To somebody's rambling boy

When the fun was done,

I would pack my bags and I was gone

Though the women were kind

there was nothing to bind me to one

Till somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways

Somebody changed my ole carousing days

Oh when I was a young boy I learned to survive

Till somebody came and stayed my sporting life

I lived in the barrooms the juke joints and gin mills

I worked any dive in town

Never to proud to pass my hat around

In every place I found

I'll sing you a glad song, play you a sad song

Sing them the whole night long

Just for a dollar or what you can offer

To somebody's rambling boy

There were times when

lonely was the only feeling left in me

Or when the cold

and the rain made it hard on a man to be free

Till somebody changed my tough and hungry days

Somebody changed my rough and rowdy ways

Now I don't really care no more about nickels and a dime
