Live a Little!

Come on, man

Live a little

That was my favorite excuse, for everything

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Yeah

The Friday night is another rooftop

With another perfect view

Yeah


Living in it, another rooftop with another perfect view

Yeah

Friday night, Friday night, another perfect view

Champagne in the air like I invented something new


Reservations where the waiters already knew my name

Every weekend look different, every Monday look the same

Fast cars, late nights, designer shoes

City lights, beautiful girls on both sides of the table


Living every moment like tomorrow wasn't able

Petticoat smiling

Bank account crying

But I never heard it


Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

My friends would ask, how do you do it

I'd raise my glass and laugh

Live a little, tomorrow can wait


Live a little, life is looking great

Spend it now, figure it out

That's what I used to shout

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh


Live a little, one more drink

Live a little, don't even think

Funny how one little phrase can build a beautiful cage

Never bought a single stock, never bought on a single bond


The only thing I knew about investing

Was investing in another bottle

Every bonus disappeared before the month was done

Every raise just meant a little bigger bill


I wasn't chasing freedom

I was bringing attention

Then one afternoon, an old man smiled

Didn't judge, didn't preach


He simply asked, if money stopped coming tomorrow

How many days could your lifestyle survive

Silence

Silence


He showed me every dollar could become another worker

He taught me saving isn't punishment

It's buying tomorrow at today's price

He spoke about investing, about compound growth


About balance, sleeping peacefully

About freedom for the first time

Live a little

Didn't mean spending everything in pennies


Keeping enough to enjoy life forever

Live a little

Live a little

Oh, live a little


Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Live a little

I say live a little

Live a little


Let your money work for you

Buy the memories

Skip the waste

Build a future at your own pace


Live a little

That's still my song

It lasts my whole life long

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I


I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Last my whole life long

I still love great food

I still love great wine


I still love beautiful places

The only difference, now my investments pick up the check
