I wrote this song, words and melody, about 2 years before I became a Browncoat. Now, however, I find myself thinking of either Mal or (Most especially) Wash when I listen to it. I must not be Alone, because Julesong is playing it on her "Can't Take The Sky" Radio Station, http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?membername=julesong&clientType=&playlist=&odatrack=&odapos= , and VampBarbie fron serenitymovie.com is thinking of using it in a Fan Video. Here are the Lyrics:

LIVING THE LIFE I CHOOSE

V1>

When it comes to money, I don't have a lot

Know what I'm missing and I know what I've got

I'm singing Love songs instead of the Blues

'Cause I'm living the life I choose

V2>

Don't have a Chauffer or a big Limousine

Know where I'm going and i know where I've been

I'm happy wearing out these old beat up shoes

'Cause I'm living the life I choose.

Bridge>

One in the morning and outside it's storming

But that doesn't bother me none

I know when I rise you'll look into my eyes

With a Love as bright as the Sun

V3>

So I'll keep going just the way that I am

May not be rich but I'm a wealthy man

I've got your Love and i've got nothing to prove

So I'm living the life I choose

I'm singing Love songs instead of the Blues

'Cause I'm living the life I choose

Yes I'm living the l;ife I choose!
