Live A Little

(专辑： Southern Son - 2021)

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working but he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

Oh my how time it flies and all I know is grind
Dear god if you hear me give me a sign
Cause I'm not really trying to waste another minute chasing a dime
I can't afford to spend attention on the lies
I'm staring at the hourglass as the saying keeps slipping
My kids are growing so fast man I'm tripping
They went straight from sippy cup sipping to sending emails
Collecting barbie dolls and seashells to asking me details hell
I tell the truth don't know what else to say
I keep praying for balance but there's no time in the day
I been at work half of their life and part of me thinks it's wrong
Only wanted to keep them safe and make my family strong come on

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working but he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

The time ticks as the present melts
Into the future till it's something else
I see myself in the mirror I can hear it loud
Voices in my head saying that I should be proud
Of all of accomplished and honestly I haven't stopped much to enjoy what I got
I'm too busy stacking on top to up it a notch
That I forgot to check the time on the clock
I turned around another year just popped and it don't stop
I've learned the time is valuable down to the minute
Even more precious than gold if you know how to spend it
Day by day as I get older I'm approaching the finish
I need to know my family knows why I did it

Yeah my truck is covered in rust but it gets me where I need to go
And my pops yeah he's still working but he's moving kinda slow
The day will come my kids'll be grown ain't playing in the yard no more
Instead of chasing time I'll go
And live a little

This life is short and sometimes it feels like a roller coaster
Just sit back enjoy the ride stay blessed and do your best
Dollar bills keep them lights on but remember money and everything
So make sure the people you love know it
