Jerry Jeff Walker
Chorus:
Go ahead and live your life and love it every day
`Cause if you don`t, I think you`ll see
How it slowly slips away
Till one day you wake and find
All your dreams committed suicide and there you go
You got a dead man on your hands
Now everyone has other lives in mind
Once they`ve taken care of needs
But won`t it blow their minds
How quickly time flies
And that`s all to life that there`s goin` to be
Bridge:
So be careful what you pretend to be
Choose it well what you think you`re goin` to be
`Cause what you pretend is exactly what you`ll be
We all admire a man who`s free
One who dares to speak his mind
A friend who disagrees without apologies
But I`ve heard that leads to jail sometimes
Bridge
Now if you`ve planned to live your life just so
A simple road without a bend
As you walk that line, I think you`ll find friend
There`s changes down the road you didn`t figure in
Chorus
