He said crickets catch more brim

But worms catch more bass

And it really ain't them brand new shoes 

That make you run so fast

He said you better finish

Buddy even if its last

Life has a way of 

Teaching us these things



[Chorus:]

And he said this hurts me

More then it hurts you

But its the only

Way to find the truth

You see life ain't no rehearsal boy

You only get one chance

And you'll learn that

By the seat of your pants



He said sometimes hunting

Ain't all about the kill

Sometimes that woman of your dreams

Can be a little too real

Sometimes you gotta go to work

No matter how you feel

Life has a way of

Teaching us these things



[Chorus:]

And he said this hurts me

More then it hurts you

But its the only

Way to find the truth

You see life ain't no rehearsal boy

You only get one chance

And you'll learn that

By the seat of your pants
