Jerry Jeff Walker      Chorus:   Go ahead and live your life and love it every day   'Cause if you don't, I think you'll see   How it slowly slips away   Till one day you wake and find   All your dreams committed suicide and there you go   You got a dead man on your hands      Now everyone has other lives in mind   Once they've taken care of needs   But won't it blow their minds   How quickly time flies   And that's all to life that there's goin' to be      Bridge:   So be careful what you pretend to be   Choose it well what you think you're goin' to be   'Cause what you pretend is exactly what you'll be      We all admire a man who's free   One who dares to speak his mind   A friend who disagrees without apologies   But I've heard that leads to jail sometimes      Bridge      Now if you've planned to live your life just so   A simple road without a bend   As you walk that line, I think you'll find friend   There's changes down the road you didn't figure in      Chorus
