"Live A Song, Write A Memory" lyrics

One, two
One, two, three
One

We used to sit up 'til sunrise
The mornings were so bright
Livin' songs and writin' memories
Lord, it came easy
Stayin' up all night and breezin'
Determined we wouldn't miss a thing

We tried hard to stay awake
Fightin' a headache
If I could've froze time
Time would be ice-cold

I believe you live and you learn
You turn or you burn
Down the bridge you cross walking to life
But don't say you quit
You don't have to forfeit
Or play safe, plainly
Live a song and write a memory

I get a bucket and a stringer
Use the tree for a leaner
We catch what we could before dark
My daddy said, "The secret to the water
Is don't talk, walk, or holler
Then the fish will never know where you are."

I learned a lot on the pond
How to fish and beyond
The obvious scenario
And here's how it goes

You live and you learn
You turn or you burn
Down the bridge you cross walking to life
Well, don't say you quit
You don't have to forfeit
Or play safe plainly
Live a song and write a memory

Now, when it's cold in November
I can't help but remember
All of the times that I've had
And if I've lost a few things
I've gained too many things
From the good ones and the bad

But you live and you learn
You turn or you burn
Down the bridge you cross walking to life
Don't say you quit
And don't take any shit
You never gave plainly
You never gave plainly
Live a song and write a memory
