Life on Ya

Sunday morning, all dressed for church
Took my buddy, rode a shortcut
Showed up all covered in dirt
Daddy took one look
'Bout to blow his top
But grandma said, "It'll come out in the wash."

Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty

Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!

About five years later
I can't remember her name
I never saw it coming
But man, I remember my first heartbreak
Grandma smiling
With that bit of a wrinkled face
Said, "You ain't seen nothing yet
That girl was just a taste"

Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty

Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Yeah

Girl, do you remember?
When we first met

Life hadn't had a chance
To throw all it had at us yet
And that was ten years later
And you can do the math
But it all adds up to everything
That grandma said way back

Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta go a little further
Gotta get a little deeper
It gets a little sweeter
When you get a little on ya!

Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty

Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
On ya!
Yeah, yeah

Gotta get a little life on ya!
Little life on ya, yeah

You got to live a little
Breathe harder
Love stronger, yeah

You got to live harder
Love stronger, yeah
