One Life

When I was a young boy I was living for the moment The world was wide open I had every choise With so many choises I just didn't know what to do now All I'd say is forget it, when you'd 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 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 choises I just didn't know what to do now All I'd say is forget it, when you'd 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 They 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 At least I'm living 'cause I've only got this One life, one life, I've got this one life Hmm, oh! 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 and I'm gonna live it I got One life, one life 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 get one life, so make sure you live it right"
