Make It Last

(album: Real To Reel 2 - 2007)

Well, I remember when I was seventeen
My father told me pick your dreams
He said life ain't easy as it seems
When you get older you'll see what I mean

All right, yeah

Well, at the time, I wanted to be twenty-one
It seemed the right age for having fun
But when I got there I was still too young
And twenty-five seemed to be the one.

But now I live my life from day to day
'Cuz I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more

Yeah!

You know that sweet girl you've been chasing round
She got you hooked 'long as she keeps you down
Well, I know what happens once she comes around
It won't be long and you'll be back on the town

But now I live my life from day to day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more

Lord, alright!
Lord! Yes, alright!
Things between, they suit you right.
But once you get them it seems like they're all alike.
So make it last as long as you can
It's so much easier when you understand

But now I live my life from day to day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more
No!
Yeah!
All right

Keep on rolling
Along
Make it last
Keep on rolling
Right on down
Make it last
As long as you can
Keep on rolling
Come on!
Keep on rolling
As long as you can
You got to make it last
