One Life

When I was a young boy I was living for the moment

The world was wide open

I had every choice

With so many choices I just didn't know what to do now



All I'd say is, "Forget it" when they'd tell me I'd 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'll 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'd say is, "Forget it" when he'd tell me I'd 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'll 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 go this one life

Mmm

Oh



If I knew yesterday what I know today where would I be tomorrow

I won't let my soul slide away

I'll 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 wanna live it right



One life

One life

(Yeah)

One life and I'm gonna live it



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 got one life

So make sure you live it right"
