Lyrics
0:12When I was a young boy
0:16I was living for the moment
0:18The world was wide open
0:19I had every choice
0:23But with so many choices
0:24I just didn't know what to do now
0:27All I say is just forget it
0:28If you tell me I'll regret it
0:30Just let it be what it is
0:31Cause it's so easy to say
0:33If I knew yesterday what I know today
0:37Where would I be tomorrow
0:40I won't let my soul slide away
0:42I'd do whatever it takes
0:44Cause this time's only borrowed
0:46I got one life one life one life
0:51And I'm gonna live it
0:53I got one life one life one life
0:57And I'm gonna live it right
1:00My daddy sat me down
1:03He said “Son it's probably time
1:05To start making some plans”
1:07And I said “No not right now”
1:10With so many choices
1:11I just didn't know what to do now
1:14All I say is just forget it
1:16If you tell me I'll regret it
1:17Let it be what it is
1:19Cause it's so easy to say
1:21If I knew yesterday what I know today
1:25Where would I be tomorrow
1:28I won't let my soul slide away
1:30I'd do whatever it takes
1:31Cause this time's only borrowed
1:33I got one life one life one life
1:38And I'm gonna live it
1:40I got one life one life one life
1:45And I'm gonna live it right
1:48You say the more you think
1:50You know what's right
1:52The less you do
1:52What you feel inside
1:55So I won't pretend that I always know
1:57I just follow my heart wherever it goes
2:01And I may not always get it right
2:05But at least I'm living cause I've only got this
2:09One life one life
2:14I've got this one life
2:22If I knew yesterday what I know today
2:26Where would I be tomorrow
2:29I won't let my soul slide away
2:31I'd do whatever it takes
2:32Cause this time's only borrowed
2:34I got one life one life one life
2:39And I'm gonna live it
2:41I got one life one life one life
2:46And I'm gonna live it right
2:52When I'm an old man
3:00Hope I'll be rocking in my chair
3:06Smiling to myself
3:07I'll tell my baby girl
3:11You only got one life
3:13So make sure you live it right
When I was a young boy I was living for the moment The world was wide open I had every choice But with so many choices I just didn't know what to do now All I say is just forget it If you tell me I'll regret it Just let it be what it is Cause it's so easy to say If I knew yesterday what I know today Where would I be tomorrow I won't let my soul slide away I'd do whatever it takes Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it right My daddy sat me down He said “Son it's probably time To start making some plans” And I said “No not right now” With so many choices I just didn't know what to do now All I say is just forget it If you tell me I'll regret it Let it be what it is Cause it's so easy to say If I knew yesterday what I know today Where would I be tomorrow I won't let my soul slide away I'd do whatever it takes Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it right You say the more you think You know what's right The less you do What you feel inside So I won't pretend that I always know I just follow my heart wherever it goes And I may not always get it right But at least I'm living cause I've only got this One life one life I've got this one life If I knew yesterday what I know today Where would I be tomorrow I won't let my soul slide away I'd do whatever it takes Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life one life one life And I'm gonna live it right When I'm an old man Hope I'll be rocking in my chair Smiling to myself I'll tell my baby girl You only got one life So make sure you live it right
