Lyrics This Is Where I Live - William Bell

This Is Where I Live

I was born in Memphis
In a different world
Now that time has come and gone
I was just a little boy
When I heard Sam Cooke singing
A change is gonna come
It touched my soul
And let me know
There’s a promise of a brand new day
Then I left my home
Started out on my own
This is where I live
This is where I live
This is where I give
All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime
This is where I live
I was just sixteen when I hit New York
Singing in a big old band
I couldn’t believe the things I saw and heard
But it sure enough made me a man
In a hotel room I wrote me a song
And it took me all around the world
And now I spend all my time playing music making rhymes
This is where I live
This is where I live
This is where I give
All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime
This is where I live
I’ve been around the world
Now I’m heading home
She’ll be waiting when I walk in
Got a oneway ticket on the redeye express
Man it’s good to be home again
This is where I live
This is where I live
This is where I give
All of my love, all my time, all my money, every dime
This is where I live
This is where I give
