I'm not going to lay around and whine and moan 'Cause somebody done done me wrong Don't think for a minute That I'm gonna sit around and sing some old sad song I believe it's half full, not a half empty glass Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time So bring on some sunshine, to hell with the red wine Pour me some moonshine When I am gone put it in stone, he left nothing behind' I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do But I like to do just what I like I'll take the chance, dance the dance It might be wrong but then again it might be right There's no way of knowing what tomorrow brings Life's too short to waste it I say bring on anything I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time So bring on the sunshine to hell with the red wine Pour me some moonshine When I'm gone put it in stone, "He left nothing behind" I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time
