"WHO DO YOU WANNA BE" lyrics
You were just a kid living life damn fast
Bare feet, big dreams, nothing holding you back
Years go by and you settle on down
You took them dreams, put them in the ground
'Cause, man, there's bills to pay
"Forty hours" keep getting in the way
But, damn, before it's too late
You gotta ask yourself
Do you wanna be living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat?
'Cause the clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
So ain't it time to think about
Going chasing that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money?
There's no point waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
Oh, who do you wanna be?
Dad always said you gotta love every minute
'Cause you can't take 'em with you when you're gone
'Cause when they're gone, then they're gone
And you only get one
Hell, the man ain't ever been wrong
So, don't go living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat
'Cause the clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
So, ain't it time to think about
Going chasing that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money?
There's no point in waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
One day when you're older
And all that's left is your story to tell
Oh, when you look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see now?
Who do you wanna be?
Oh, who do you wanna be?
Do you wanna be living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat?
The clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
But it ain't too late to go turn it 'round
Go and chase that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money
There's no point waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
One day when you're older
Oh
And all that's left is your story to tell
Who do you wanna be?
When you look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see now?
Who do you wanna be?
Bare feet, big dreams, nothing holding you back
Years go by and you settle on down
You took them dreams, put them in the ground
'Cause, man, there's bills to pay
"Forty hours" keep getting in the way
But, damn, before it's too late
You gotta ask yourself
Do you wanna be living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat?
'Cause the clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
So ain't it time to think about
Going chasing that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money?
There's no point waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
Oh, who do you wanna be?
Dad always said you gotta love every minute
'Cause you can't take 'em with you when you're gone
'Cause when they're gone, then they're gone
And you only get one
Hell, the man ain't ever been wrong
So, don't go living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat
'Cause the clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
So, ain't it time to think about
Going chasing that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money?
There's no point in waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
One day when you're older
And all that's left is your story to tell
Oh, when you look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see now?
Who do you wanna be?
Oh, who do you wanna be?
Do you wanna be living your life in the passenger seat
Watching days go by sitting on repeat?
The clock keeps ticking till your time runs out
But it ain't too late to go turn it 'round
Go and chase that dream, honey
Taking that chance, burn a little money
There's no point waiting till you're six-feet deep
So, tell me now, who do you wanna be?
One day when you're older
Oh
And all that's left is your story to tell
Who do you wanna be?
When you look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see now?
Who do you wanna be?
