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 its 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 whats 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
