One Life

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 me 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"

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

Just let me 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 where ever it goes

And I may not always get it right

At least I'm living 'cause I only got this one life

One life, I've got this one life

Hmm

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

(One life, one life, one life)

I'm just gonna

(And I'm gonna live it)

(I got one life, one life, one life)

Ooh, ooh

When I'm an old man

Hope I'll be rocking in my chair

Smilin' to myself

I'll tell my baby girl

You only got one life

So make sure you live it right
