Living for the Moment
Ryan Upchurch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they don't slow down to realize
the things around them that truly matter
So take this time for yourself and live in this moment
'Cause you only got it once, yeah
Top down, messing around
Let your heart lead, I'll follow
Ride it out till tomorrow
Crazy weekends making new friends
Money hard made but easily spent, yeah
Living for the moment, yeah
Living for the moment
Got the Chevy loaded up, a cooler packed full of ice
A tank of gas but it's not gonna last all night
Two lovers lost under the stars who never had regret
But making memories they'll never forget
Top down, messing around
Let your heart lead, I'll follow
Only got right now
Ride it out till tomorrow
Crazy weekends making new friends
Money hard made but easily spent, yeah
Living for the moment, yeah
Living for the moment
A four wheel drive slinging sand high on Daytona Beach
With a red umbrella in your glass, loving how you tease me
Two lovers lost under the sun who never had regret
But making memories they'll never forget, yeah
Top down, messing around
Let your heart lead, I'll follow
Only got right now
Ride it out till tomorrow
Crazy weekends making new friends
Money hard made but easily spent, yeah
Living for the moment
Top down, messing around
Let your heart lead, I'll follow
Only got right now
Ride it out till tomorrow
Crazy weekends making new friends
Money hard made but easily spent, yeah
Living for the moment, yeah
Living for the moment

My only other hero than the ones who served our country! I'd do anything just for a phone call from you just so I can tell you how much your music has changed my life! I put one of your songs on and my depression and worries just fly out the window thank you and our soldiers for giving me a reason to keep fighting!
