Lyrics
Gut Feeling
It's your life
Baby, take it back
Lose your old inhibitions
Somewhere back there
you got off track
by your own admission
The world is full of dreamers
People who never take action
Wait for someone
to help them out
And never get satisfaction
(chorus)
Test your fate
Beat the failure rate
You die after some livin'
You get your chance to
have no regrets
To follow your gut feelings
Memories will effect you, yeah
Whether they're bad or good
You'd like to reach back
and change some things
If you only could
Accidents and racial fears
Losing someone that you love
Reaching for that extra beer
Getting sick and then throwing up
Test your fate
Beat the failure rate
You die after some livin'
You get your chance to
have no regrets
To follow your gut feelings
(Bridge)
It's your life
Baby, take it back
Lose your old inhibitions
Somewhere back there
you got off track
