Write a Song

[Verse 1]
Somebody once told me if one life is all we get
Why ain't everyone out here living like it is?
Nobody talks about the things you never did when you're gone
You should be out there somewhere
Putting some new dirt on your boots
Seeing a sunset from some pier
Flipping a coin for your next move
Wasting time while there's time to waste
Making memories you can hang your hat on

[Chorus]
Put the truck in drive, let some gravel fly
Leave it all behind, rip up them roots
Give yourself a shot, give it all you got
Yeah, ready or not, what you got to lose?
Pour another glass, smile for the flash
'Cause it don't last that long, oh
Go fall in love, maybe mess it up
Learn it all the hard way
Go take a chance, who gives a damn
What anyone else thinks?
You'll find a way, don't be afraid to get it wrong
Kiss a girl, buy a boat, chase a dream, write a song

[Verse 2]
Yeah, when you leave it, don't forget where you came from
Check in with Jesus when things are good or getting tough
Fill a shoebox full of pictures
Call your mama, let her know you miss her
'Cause it sure flies when you're out there having fun

[Chorus]
Put the truck in drive, let some gravel fly
Leave it all behind, rip up them roots
Give yourself a shot, give it all you got
Yeah, ready or not, what you got to lose?
Pour another glass, smile for the flash
'Cause it don't last that long, oh
Go fall in love, maybe mess it up
Learn it all the hard way
Go take a chance, who gives a damn
What anyone else thinks?
You'll find a way, don't be afraid to get it wrong
Kiss a girl, buy a boat, chase a dream, write a song

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, write a song

[Bridge]
Whatever sets your heart on fire
Puts some wind beneath your wings
It might sound crazy, but it ain't near as crazy as you think

[Chorus]
Put the truck in drive, let some gravel fly
Leave it all behind, rip up them roots
Give yourself a shot, give it all you got
Yeah, ready or not, what you got to lose?
Pour another glass, smile for the flash
'Cause it don't last that long, oh
Go fall in love, maybe mess it up
Learn it all the hard way
Go take a chance, who gives a damn
What anyone else thinks?
You'll find a way, don't be afraid to get it wrong
Kiss a girl, buy a boat, chase a dream, write a song
