You can only cut it once so measure twice When you shake a hand, look em in their eyes Everything comes back around So leave it better than you found it And never be too proud to take advice When you got time to give Go ahead and give it When the good Lord throws a curve Just try your best to hit it As fast as you can blink your eye These days are gonna pass you by So if I could tell you one thing bout this life Don't forget to live it Try to call your mom least once a week Don't confuse the want for what you need Keep your nose in the good book And be careful where you look As you figure out just who you're gonna be When you got time to give Go ahead and give it When the good Lord throws a curve Just try your best to hit it As fast as you can blink your eye These days are gonna pass you by So if I could tell you one thing bout this life Don't forget to live it Don't forget to live it There's always plenty more that I could tell And plenty more I'm trying to figure out myself But we only get one ride A bunch of lows, a bunch of highs So here's somewhere to start to do it well When you got time to give Go ahead and give it When the good Lord throws a curve Just try your best to hit it As fast as you can blink your eye These days are gonna pass you by So if I could tell you one thing bout this life Don't forget to live it
