  • Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate
    Spilled hot coffee down the front of my jeans
    It's work, work, pay the rent, money and my time's spent
    Not a minute left for me to be me

    Been going like nothing can wait
    I gotta get my priorities straight

    I need to live a little, have some fun
    Take some time, waste it on number one
    Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
    Live a little, love a lot

    Friday night, here we go, do a little do-si-do
    Kick back, have a laugh, catch my breath
    Tell the band slow it down, there she is, think I found
    Maybe Miss Wonderful, I haven't met yet

    It just hit me like a wrecking ball
    She's giving me a wake up call

    I need to live a little, have some fun
    Take some time, waste it on number one
    Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
    Live a little, love a lot

    Step back, smell the rose
    Feel the sand between your toes
    Unplug, unwind
    Step out in the sunshine

    I need to live a little, have some fun
    Take some time, waste it on number one
    Find a girl that brings my whole world to a stop
    Live a little

    I need to live a little, have some fun
    Take some time, waste it on number one
    Take the girl, get a map and pick any ol' dot
    Live a little, we need to live a little, love a lot Writer/s: DAVID LEE MURPHY, SHANE MINOR
