Well I left for work in a hurry
I rushed out the door without saying goodbye
I didn't tell her I loved her this morninBut I'll tell her tonight I thought to myself
An as I hurried off towards the highway
This truck outta nowhere caught me by surprise
He missed me by inches an my life passed in front of my eyes
I guess that's the reason that they say
Dance every dance an live each dayAs though it's your last
An tell those that you love how you feel
Before it's too late
Life is right here and now
We only go around just one time
So embrace'em and don't waste'em
For these are the days of our lives
Well son as my my legs stopped a shakinTook a deep breath an turned my car around
Oh,I'm gonna take that vacation
That we talked about startin' right now
