When I was a young boy

I was living for the moment

The world was wide openI 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"
