Sunday morning, all dressed for church Took my buddy, rode a shortcut Showed up all covered in dirt Daddy took one look ‘Bout to blow his top But grandma said, “It’ll come out in the wash.”
Gotta get a little life on ya! Ain’t always pretty, Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya! On ya! On ya! Gotta get a little life on ya!
About five years later I can’t remember her name I never saw it coming But man, I remember my first heartbreak Grandma smiling With that bit of a wrinkled face Said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet, That girl was just a taste”
Gotta get a little life on ya! Ain’t always pretty, Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya! On ya! On ya! Gotta get a little life on ya! Yeah
Girl, do you remember? When we first met Life hadn’t had a chance to throw all it had at us yet And that was ten years later And you can do the math But it all adds up to everything That grandma said way back
Gotta get a little life on ya! Gotta get a little life on ya! Gotta go a little further Gotta get a little deeper It gets a little sweeter When you get a little on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya! Ain’t always pretty, Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya! On ya! On ya! On ya! Yeah, yeah
Gotta get a little life on ya! Little life on ya, yeah
You got to live a little Breathe harder Love stronger, yeah
