Better Get To Livin'
(专辑: Backwoods Barbie - 2008)
People always coming up to me and asking "Dolly, what's your secret? With all you do, your attitude Just seems to be so good How do you keep it?" Well, I'm not the
Dalai Lama, but I'll try To offer up a
few words of advice. You better get to living, giving Don't forget to throw in a
little forgiving And loving on the
way You better get to knowing, showing A
little bit more concerned about where you're going Just a
word unto the
wise You better get to living. A
girlfriend came to my house Started crying on my shoulder Sunday evening She was spinning such a
sad tale I
could not believe the
yarn that she was weaving So negative the
words she had to say I
said if I
had a
violin I'd play. I
said you'd better get to living, giving Be willing and forgiving Cause all healing has to start with you You better stop whining, pining Get your dreams in line And then just shine, design, refine Until they come true And you better get to living. Your life's a
wreck, your house is mess And your wardrobe way outdated All your plans just keep on falling through Overweight and under paid, under appreciated I'm no guru, but I'll tell you This I
know is true. You better get to living, giving A
little more thought about being A
little more willing to make a
better way Don't sweat the
small stuff Keep your chin up Just hang tough And if it gets too rough Fall on your knees and pray And do that everyday Then you'll get to living. The
day we're born we start to die Don't waste one minute of this life Get to living Share your dreams and share your laughter Make some points for the
great hereafter. Better start caring Better start sharing Better start trying Better start smiling And you better get to living...
