Start Living — текст песни (Alabama)

He just can`t wait to graduate
He`s marking time and counting days
He`ll toss that cap and watch that tassel fly
So he can start living
Yeah, finally start living
`Cause he`s got big plans
And he`ll have time on his hands
To start living

Before he knows ten years are gone
A dead-end job, a mortgage loan
He wonders where the chances passed him by
To really start living
Yeah he wants to start living
And soon he`s sure
He can finally afford
To start living

He`ll read more books
He`ll make more love
He`ll talk more to the man above
He`ll watch the sunset in the west
And visit Mexico
He`ll learn to cook, he`ll play some ball
He`ll write that book, he`ll make that call
He`ll take the time
Some other time
Someday he`ll do it all

Well sittin` in the barber chair
He sees the silver in his hair
Those golden years are comin` right behind
And then he`ll start living
He`ll really start living
Yeah he feels tired
Ah, but soon he`ll retire
And start living

He`ll read more books
He`ll make more love
He`ll talk more to the man above
He`ll watch the sunset in the west
And visit Mexico
He`ll learn to cook, he`ll play some ball
He`ll write that book, he`ll make that call
He`ll take the time
Some other time
Someday he`ll do it all

Well the doctor says, I`ve got bad news
Afraid there`s nothing we can do
And all at once the tears are in his eys
He`ll never start living
Never really start living
Yeah he had big plans
But there`s no time on his hands
To start living

When he sees the pearly gates
He`ll really start living
