Live It

I bought Kathy Mattea's latest CD, Right Out of Nowhere, and am enjoying it. One song struck me so hard that I had to post the lyrics...

Live It
(written by Harley Allen)

Well you can
Live it hard and live it fast
Live it slow and make it last
Live like you did yesterday
Or live it in a brand new way
Live it bold or live it shy
Live it any way you like
Just live it, man

Well you can
Live it up or live it down
In the country or the town
Live out, way out on the coast
Or live it where you like it most
Live it in the Northern lights
Live it where the seagulls fly
Just live it, man

(chorus)
Don't you know that we're all runnin'
Slowly out of time
You're got yours
And I've got mine
Don't you know that love is all we
Really need to do
So love the ones
That love you, too

Well you can
Live it right there in your house
With your family on the couch
Walk in singin' in your door
Kids are dancing on the floor
Wake the neighbors in the night
Live it any way you like
Just live it, man

(chorus)

Well you can
Live it like nobody will
Live it like you can't stand still
Live it like it's your last chance
Live it like it's your last dance
Like it any way you can
Live it like you give a damn
Just live it, man
Before you die
