Make It Last

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, yes
Alright, yeah

Well, at the time I wanted to be twenty-one
It seemed the right age for havin' 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
'Cause 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!

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

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
Alright, yeah

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

And 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! Alright

I keep on rollin' alone
I make it last
Keep on rollin', right on down
Make it last as long as you can

Keep on rolling, come on
Keep on rolling as long as you can
Gotta make it last
