[Chorus]
I'm gonna live, laugh, love, just for today
Gonna take all the trouble that 
Tomorrow might bring and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

I got a buddy that wakes up
Worryin' about stocks and bonds
He's up and he's down and he only smiles
When the market's strong
I spend my whole week's wages
At the dance on Saturday night
I won't never grow a portfolio
But hey that's alright

[Chorus]

I got a cabin in the country 
And the tin roof rattles
When the rain comes down
Where the wind through the pine
Helps me unwind
While the world goes 'round
I got a woman that fills my heart so full
That it overflows
And how it gets any better than this
Brother I don't know

[Chorus]

I'm gonna live, laugh, love, just for today
Gonna take all the trouble and put it away
Gonna drink every drop of happiness
'Til they cover me up
I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love

[Chorus]

I'm gonna live, gonna laugh, gonna love
