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"
