Lyrics
I’m not gonna lay around and whine and moan
‘Cause somebody done done me wrong
Don’t think for a minute that I’m gonna sit around
And sing some old sad songI believe it’s half full, not a half empty glass
Every day I wake up knowing it could be my lastI ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
Pour me some moonshine
When I’m gone, put it in stone, “He left nothing behind”
I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good timeFolks are always dreaming ’bout what they’d like to do
But I like to do just what I like
I’ll take the chance, dance the dance
It might be wrong but then again it might be rightThere’s no way of knowing what tomorrow brings
Life’s too short to waste it, I say bring on anything
