I sat down to think about my life and started seeing thing so clear I've done some things that made my dear ole' momma cry Then again, I've done a lot that made her smile You dad told me, when I was young, I could do just about anything From this day on I'm gonna keep both hands on the wheel I'm gonna put that hammer down, stay the course, and let it fly (Chorus) Well nothing's gonna slow me down, lord I'm on my way And the futures gonna hand me brighter days Aint life great, don't it beat all, I'm gonna have myself a ball Aint it great to be alive Lookin' back on my youth I can't help but smile when I think about the times with my best friend Racin' sticks down Thompson falls, the loser never lost at all We'd go back to top and we'd start again Buildin' forts in Rollin' Hills, reckin' bikes, we had some spills spin the bottle with the girl next door Yea we'd fight and fuss, spit and cuss, we we're team it was them or us And it was great to be alive (Chorus) Well if your ever feelin' kinda low, circumstances bring you down Raise the blinds and let the sun shine through and just take a look around Think of something that makes you smile, things aren't near as bad as they seem Step outside and get some fresh air, dance around like you don't care And watch your worries drift away (Chorus)
