Here are the lyrics for J.A.R.
My friend drove off the other day,
Now he's gone and all they say,
Is you got to live 'cause life goes on...
But now I see I'm mortal, too,
I can't live my life like you,
Got to live it up, while life goes on.
And I think that it's all right,
That I do what I like,
'Cause that's the way I want to live.
it's how I give, and I'm still givin'...
And now I wonder 'bout my friend,
If he gave all he could give,
'Cause he lived his life like I live mine.
If you could see inside my head,
Then you'd start to understand,
The things I value in my heart.
And I think that it's all right,
That I do what I like,
'Cause that's the way I want to live.
it's how I give, and I'm still givin'...
You know that...
I know that...
You're watchin' me!
And I think that it's all right,
That I do what I like,
'Cause that's the way I wanna live.
it's how I give, and I'm still givin'...
Got to make a plan,
Got to do what's right,
Can't run around in circles,
If you wanna build a life,
But I don't want to make a plan,
For a day far away,
While I'm young and while I'm able,
All I want to do is...
Your cover band is very good, its rare on youtube.
