Well, I'm waitin' table by a big freeway
Where everyone I meet is headed far away
Every night, I swear I'm gonna go some day
I wanna live
I wanna live

Well, the sun comes up, I'm rollin' out of the sack
Bringin' eggs over easy, coffee black
There's a sign on the door. It says "Ya'll come back."
I wanna live
I wanna live

I wanna ask, "Is anybody goin' my way?"
There must be a better life than this.
Up in my room I hear the rumble of the highway
I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live!

Well, the moon comes up just like a photograph
On a postcard that someone sent me back
And I'm reachin' for my coat and hat
I wanna live

"I had this guitar groove, a bit of a melody, and the 'I Wanna Live' lines but was stuck there."

"The verses and bridge just 'poured out' of Fred and I loved them instantly. I had worked as a waitress for more years than I care to say and was truly terrible at it. In fact, I once baptized a rude customer with an entire bucket of beer."

"Fred is an incredibly untuitive cowriter. He can tap into my mind and finish a half-formed thought for me. He really has a gift."
