Well you know I had a buddy from Eastern Kentucky He just wasn't lucky as me He died in the sand in some far away land Where they're fighting for the peace that will never be Ahh fighting for the freedom that they won't see Sure as shines in the mountains There's water in the fountain Ain't a shadow of doubt in me That someday we'll be together In the perfect fishing weather Catching all the smallmouth bass in Tennessee Ahh slaying record smallmouth bass in Tennessee So you better get to living stop taking start giving More hugging and a kissing kind a thing Cause time waits for no one Just keeps moving on One day you're here the next you're gone Ahh one day you're here the next day you're gone ♪ I pray to God above that all this push and shove Can make some room for love and kill the pain Listen to me brother you better hold on to each other Cause the years roll by like a highball train Let's get to living stop taking start giving More hugging and a kissing kind a thing Cause time waits for no one Just keeps moving on One day you're here the next you're gone Ahh one day you're here the next day you're gone (Ahhhhh) (Ahhhhh)
