Life On Ya

Feb 17, 2026 updated
Sunday morning, all dressed for church
Took my buddy, rode a shortcut
Showed up all covered in dirt
Daddy took one look
'Bout to blow his top
But grandma said, "It'll come out in the wash."
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty,
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
About five years later
I can't remember her name
I never saw it coming
But man, I remember my first heartbreak
Grandma smiling
With that bit of a wrinkled face
Said, "You ain't seen nothing yet,
That girl was just a taste"
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty,
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Yeah
Girl, do you remember?
When we first met
Life hadn't had a chance
to throw all it had at us yet
And that was ten years later
And you can do the math
But it all adds up to everything
That grandma said way back
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta go a little further
Gotta get a little deeper
It gets a little sweeter
When you get a little on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty,
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
On ya!
Yeah, yeah
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Little life on ya, yeah
You got to live a little
Breathe harder
Love stronger, yeah
You got to live harder
Love stronger, yeah
