Life's Too Short

The preacher said some words, and we all gathered 'round

We threw handfuls of dirt as they laid him in the ground

But on his dying day, he handed me a note

Said, "Read this when I'm gone," and this is what he wrote

"Have a cold beer with your hot wings

And a good time with your friends

Take that drive down to Daytona

'Cause who knows when you'll get to go again

Hold her close and love her right, show her what forever's for

Take a little time, send a prayer up to the good Lord

And P.S. life's too short to drive a Ford"

So, I sold my F-150, parked a Silverado in the drive

Drove that truck down to Hooters, poured a few rounds with the guys

And last night I told my wife I love her long as I'm alive

We all thought he was crazy

But God knows he was right when he said

"Have a cold beer with your hot wings

And a good time with your friends

Take that drive down to Daytona

'Cause who knows when you'll get to go again

Hold her close and love her right, show her what forever's for

Take a little time, send a prayer up to the good Lord

And P.S. life's too short to drive a Ford"

Now, listen up

Pictures last longer, Chevy's built stronger

You only live one time

Yeah, those final words hit me

So, I'm gonna live until I die

Have a cold beer with my hot wings

And a good time with my friends

Take that drive down to Daytona

'Cause who knows when you'll get to go again

Hold her close and love her right, show her what forever's for

Take a little time, send a prayer up to the good Lord

And remember life's too short to drive a Ford
