I was told a million times Of all the troubles in my way Tried to grow a little wiser Little
better ev'ry day But if I crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Bread
and butter for a smile Well I sold a million mirrors In a shop in Alley Way But I never saw my face In any window
any day Well they say your folks are telling you To be a superstar But I tell you just be satisfied To stay right
where you are
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money Honey you'll survive
Well
I've loved a million women In a belladonic haze And I ate a million dinners Brought to me on silver trays Give
me ev'rything I need To feed my body and my soul And I'll grow a little bigger Maybe that can be my goal I was
told a million times Of all the people in my way How I had to keep on trying And get better ev'ry day But if I
crossed a million rivers And I rode a million miles Then I'd still be where I started Same as when I started
Keep
yourself alive keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money Honey you'll survive
Keep yourself
alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and a money To keep me satisfied Do you think you're better
ev'ry day? No I think I'm two steps nearer to my grave Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive mm You take your
time and take more money Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself
alive Keep yourself alive Keep yourself alive It'll take you all your time and money To keep me satisfied Keep
yourself alive Keep yourself alive All you people keep yourself alive Take you all your time and money Honey you'll
survive
