Smooth seas never made a good captain
And old trees never made a good cabin
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice

Well, everyday is a blessin', man
I'm just out here staring at the sky while I'm whistlin'
Wishin' all my friends that were gone, no we missin' them
Hope they staring down and they proud man, this shit's for them
Yeah, and I know, we ain't turnin' back until the farmer goes
Yeah, and I know, we ain't turnin' back until we make it home

Smooth seas never made a good captain
And old trees never made a good cabin
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice

Quittin' things never made a good habit
Diamond rings ain't worth shit in caskets
You're gonna live your life, said you ain't gonna live it twice
You're gonna live your life, said you ain't gonna live it twice

Okay, here's a little story about a dude that died one day
He was old, he had a lot of gold, a Rolly and a Benz
He said, "It didn't really matter, you can't take it in the end"
He said, "The only thing that matters is your family and your friends
And how much fun fucking you had when you were here upon this earth
All them numbers in your bank account, your silly net worth
You should live just like a pirate, you should drink like one too
You should never bother nobody unless they bother you
You should eat the food you want and you should revel in the drink
You should watch the sun come up, and you should have sex on a sink, yeah
Wear the clothes you want and never worry what they think
'Cause it can all be good and gone, snap over in the blink, wink"
Ha, but that's just what he thinks

Smooth seas never made a good captain
Old trees never made a good cabin
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice

Quittin' things never made a good habit
Diamond rings ain't worth shit in caskets
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice
You're gonna live your life, said, you ain't gonna live it twice
