I'm outside, running in the morning sun
No matter what it takes, you know I'm gonna get it done
Pushing up the heel, fighting through the pain
Everything to lose, everything to gain
You know I'm on my way, I'm on my way to #1

Feeling good, getting tight
'Cause I'm livin' right, livin' right
Up in the morning, asleep at night
I'm livin' right, livin right

I was livin' in the past, holding on to yesterday
I knew it wouldn't last, I had to find a better way
I had to face the truth, I had to face the facts
I'm giving something up, I'm getting something back
You know I'm getting close, a little closer everyday

I look at the future, the future looks bright
'Cause I'm livin' right, livin' right
Out of the darkness and into the light
I'm livin' right, livin' right

You're never gonna make it, staying on the road you're on
And everything you're taking, isn't gonna last you long
If you really want it, man you gotta want it bad, so bad
Nothing feels better than reaching for the top
Once you get started, you ain't never gonna wanna stop

I'm outside running in the morning sun
No matter what it takes, you know I'm gonna get it done
I finally took a chance, I never thought I would
I'm through with feeling bad, I'm into feeling good
You know I'm on my way, on my way to #1

I look at the future, the future looks bright
'Cause I'm livin' right, livin' right
Out of the darkness, and into the light
I'm livin' right, livin' right
