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
