Neil Diamond - In My Lifetime lyrics

Hey boy, you got the address
On the street of unknowns
Big man smokin' on a cigar
Dealin' on the telephone
Hey boy, look out for flim-flam
If you wanna go real far
Been there, and I believe
You got to be what you are
In my lifetime, In my lifetime

Hey boy, you look like a million
Hey now, show 'em what you got
Hey boy, what you got to run from?
I'll teach you all that I forgot
In my lifetime, In my lifetime

Hey boy, when you write a rock tune
You give up a piece of your soul
Stay boy, underneath a rockin' moon
Try before you get too old
Hooray, got yourself a road gig
Any gig's gonna be fine
Okay, you gave up your real life
And I know why

In my lifetime, I have been there
I have dreamed it
In my lifetime, L - I - F - E
In my T - I - M - E in my lifetime
(Holly Holy Love, Shilo when I was young)
In my lifetime, In my lifetime
