Ginny Owens Live Once
I don't speak often cause I don't speak well
so every song I write has a story to tell
of all I've learned living with myself
so these are my pearls of wisdom in a nutshell
oh you only live once so you'd better think twice
this day will go before you know so don't waste your
time
and when you're standing on a cloud or when you've
fallen on the ground
you've gotta have something, something to sing about
I don't know much, that much is true
the queries are endless, my answers are few
but life has caused me to conclude
I can face what I don't know
by singing about what I do
Oh you only live once so you'd better think twice
this day will go before you know so don't waste your
time
and when you're lost inside yourself and you can't find
your way out
you've gotta find something, something to sing about
the world has a way of wearing you down
and time's not afraid to take its toll, oh no
but you can sing through anything as long as you know
what awaits you at the end of the road
because you only live once
yeah, you only live once so you'd better think twice
this day will go before you know so don't waste your
time
at the end of the day, when you lay your head down
you've gotta have something, something to sing about
