[Verse 1]
Some's born to take life safe and easy
I was born to live life on a dare
I never worried about the fall
You all, just how high I got in the air
Flipping dirt bikes and rolling daddy's truck
The highs kept me smiling through the tears
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 2]
There are those who take it slow and steady
I happen to keep it between the lines
Line up their ducks before they're ready
I'll have no regrets when it comes my time
Life's never dealt me any aces
But I'm all in double-down no fear
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 3]
Town water towers and county quarries
No trespassing meant come on in
Skydiving drunk, now there's your story
And giving that farmer's bull a spin
Ain't a fan of going slow around corners
Stomp on the gas and grab another gear
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 4]
I love the view up on this high wire
Oh, without a net down below
While most are running from the wildfires
I can't wait to get too close
What's the use of life if you don't live it?
You sip your water, I'll drink my beer
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
I'll take a couple years off my life
Before I take life off my years
Some's born to take life safe and easy
I was born to live life on a dare
I never worried about the fall
You all, just how high I got in the air
Flipping dirt bikes and rolling daddy's truck
The highs kept me smiling through the tears
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 2]
There are those who take it slow and steady
I happen to keep it between the lines
Line up their ducks before they're ready
I'll have no regrets when it comes my time
Life's never dealt me any aces
But I'm all in double-down no fear
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 3]
Town water towers and county quarries
No trespassing meant come on in
Skydiving drunk, now there's your story
And giving that farmer's bull a spin
Ain't a fan of going slow around corners
Stomp on the gas and grab another gear
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
[Verse 4]
I love the view up on this high wire
Oh, without a net down below
While most are running from the wildfires
I can't wait to get too close
What's the use of life if you don't live it?
You sip your water, I'll drink my beer
[Chorus]
I'll take years off my life
Before I take life off my years
I'll take a couple years off my life
Before I take life off my years
