Lyrics
Three Days to Live
Lyrics: Ken Matejka, Dan Robinson,
Music: John Marcinizyn
Chorus
Three days to live, that?s all we?ve got
Two mean somethin?, but that third one means a lot
Time?s a wastin?, don?t let it slip away
We?ve only got three days to live
Yesterday, tomorrow and today
Verse 1
Some folks live in yesterday
Rememberin? those good old days
The past is a familiar place
You know so well what you will face
Have a few beers and shed some tears
But don?t keep starin? in those old mirrors
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 2
Tomorrow?s where some folks stay
Dreamin? ?bout a better day
Writin? songs, pickin? guitars
Hitchhikin? on shootin? stars
Reachin? for that big brass ring
But grabbin? it?s no sure thing
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Some folks live life for today
Smellin? roses, makin? hay
Laughin? out loud all the way
Grateful for another day
Lovin? life and livin? love
They know today?s a gift from above
Bridge
Give yesterday it?s due
Let tomorrow shine on through
But hold onto today for you
(Modified Chorus)
Three days to live, that?s all we?ve got
Three days to live
Three days to live that?s all we?ve got
