[Verse 1]
Well, I'd wreck that better day Chevrolet
A thousand times, a thousand ways
Just to feel the kind of way it made me feel
Behind that wheel
And I'd break my heart come every Fall
To taste that summer and the alcohol
On lips that said, "I love you", but never will
I'd kiss her still
[Refrain]
With a heart wide open, I'll go down goin'
I'd rather drown dreamin' than to stay dry hopin'
I'd rather steal time, than have mine stolen
I'd rather live
[Chorus]
A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I, more that I wish
For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get (With the one life I get)
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Not just a life I can live with (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be a leavin' town silhouette
Taillights burnin' like cigarettes
Wastin' good gas on a bad bet
Than to die knowin' I never lived
[Chorus]
A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I, more that I wish
For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get (With the one life I get)
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Not just a life I can live with (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Refrain]
With a heart wide open, I'll go down goin'
I'd rather drown dreamin' than to stay dry hopin'
I'd rather steal time, than have mine stolen
I'd rather live
[Chorus]
A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I, more that I wish
For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get (With the one life I get)
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Not just a life I can live with, yeah, yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Not just a life I can live with
Not just a life I can live with
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
Well, I'd wreck that better day Chevrolet
A thousand times, a thousand ways
Just to feel the kind of way it made me feel
