Shootin’ down the highway like a forty-five
Playin’ my guitar at max overdrive
Swingin’ for the fence every time I’m at bat
Ya know livin’ to the limits is where it’s at
|
Don’t squander your time and deliberate
Just put your pedal-to-the-metal and accelerate
If you’re movin’ fast enough, well, you can’t be touched By a bunch of small thoughts and other things as such
|
You can chase a shiny penny at a dead-end job
Or sell your soul to the local mob, but I
Wouldn’t recommend the very first of these, 'cause
The second won’t kill ya from that boredom disease
|
You could buy a chicken sandwich or a burger deluxe
I mean for fifty cents more should ya give a cluck
Why settle for vanilla when spumoni’s so nice
Live large and get three flavors for the one-flavor price
|
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you oughta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you oughta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
|
You can be a little fish in a great big sea, or be the
Biggest fish of all in some pond, ya see
But why would you be a fish of any size
When they just get caught -- and then pan-fried
|
You’ll live large on a shoestring if you don’t buy shoes
And ignore the bad things in the nightly news
Sleepin’ on an airbed can feel like class
If you drink enough at bedtime to ensure you’re gassed
|
So you can go play big or you can stay at home
And live your life like some second-rate clone
Ya know you can live large on a dollar-a-day
If ya don’t define large in a financial way
|
Shootin’ down the highway like a forty-five
Playin’ my guitar at max overdrive
Swingin’ for the fence every time I’m at bat
Ya know livin’ to the limits is where it’s at
|
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you oughta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you oughta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
|
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you wanta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
Give it all you’ve got to give
And live that life you wanta live
Give it all you’ve got to give
