I remember we were young and you said that I was done
And I rode out on the street, I was back up on my feet
Well, I was fighting the same old wars, had to even out the scores
And I'm still alive, and I will survive
I can take what life's got to give, just need a little time
And I'm still alive talking that same old jive
I can handle what cause my worry, just gimme another day
And the times have changed, my friend, I'll be here till the bitter end
With a guitar in my hand, I stand little taller
I've been to hell and back, I ain't falling off this track
From the back to the front page, from a gutter to the stage
And I'm still alive, and I will survive
I can take what life's got to give, just need a little time
And I'm still alive talking that same old jive
I can handle what cause my worry, just gimme another day
, take me so very far from home
I woke up one summer day and I fell in love
And the times have changed my friend, I'll be here till the bitter end
And I'm here to make my stand with a guitar in my hand
And I'm still alive, and I will survive
I can take what life's got to give, just need a little time
And I'm still alive talking that same old jive
I can handle what cause my worry, just gimme another day
