Own Tonight

I woke up breathing,

that's enough for me,

Sun through the glass,

whole world underneath, Spent too many years letting life run me— Now

I'm taking every damn thing I came to see.

I ain't waiting on permission,

I ain't asking for a sign,

If tomorrow ain't promised— Then tonight is fucking mine.

LIVING IT UP!

Aint taking nothing from me!

Hands to the sky,

got the whole night underneath me!

LIVING IT UP!

Like tomorrow ain't coming,

If the world's gonna turn,

I'm gonna turn with it running!

I got

one life— One shot—

One heart still beating!

LIVING IT UP!

Aint taking nothing from me!

I done lost some people,

lost some years, lost sleep,

Had some nights when the bottom looked good to me,

Now the top ain't money and it ain't no throne,

It's waking up knowing that my life is my own.

Good food, good people,

windows down, Laugh too loud when I'm out downtown,

They can talk,

they can stare, they can call me insane—

I paid enough dues,

now I'm spending my days.

I ain't saving all my living

For some better place and time,

If tomorrow ain't promised— Then tonight is fucking mine.

Take the trip.

Buy the drink.

Call the friend you haven't seen.

Kiss somebody like you mean it,

Make a memory in between.

I ain't scared of getting older,

I'm scared of never being free—

So whatever time I've got left—

IT BELONGS TO ME.

LIVING IT UP! AIN'T TAKING NOTHING FROM ME!

Whole damn world and I'm taking what it gives me!

LIVING IT UP! Till the lights stop burning,

Till the wheels fall off and the whole thing stops turning!

ONE LIFE!

ONE SHOT!

ONE HEART STILL BEATING!

LIVING IT

UP! AIN'T TAKING NOTHING FROM ME!

LIV-ING-IT-UP.
