Got A Life To Live

country-gothic-pop crossover, male vocals, ‑reverb, ‑echo, ‑hall, ‑shimmer

[Verse]
Dust on the dashboard, miles on the tires
A few old plans and a couple burned wires
Some things worked out, some never came through
Some roads disappeared before they led somewhere new

There were years when the money ran thin
And days when starting over felt like giving in
But somewhere between the losing and gain
A little bit of sunlight broke through the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
The past can stay where the past belongs
There's still a road ahead and it's calling me on

[Chorus]
Got a life to live
And there's more than yesterday left to give
No need to wait for everything to align
No need to borrow somebody else's time

Got a life to live
With a few more chances waiting down the line
Whatever comes, whatever it brings
There's still a reason to believe in things

Long road, worn shoes
Old dreams, nothing to lose
New days, better news
Got a life to live

[Verse]
A good day's never been measured in gold
Sometimes it's a front porch when the evening gets cold
A familiar song coming through the radio
A long back road with nowhere to go

There are people worth keeping close
And little things that matter more than most
The years don't always leave what you planned
But they leave a better view of what you understand

[Pre-Chorus]
No perfect answer has to show
Sometimes you just find out as you go

[Chorus]
Got a life to live
And enough unfinished business to keep moving
Somewhere beyond the things that went wrong
A different kind of road keeps rolling on

Got a life to live
With open doors where there used to be walls
Nothing promised, nothing guaranteed
Still plenty left that's worth the need

Hard times, held on
Last light, coming strong
New ground, moving on
Got a life to live

[Verse]
The best years don't always arrive on time
They can show up somewhere past the warning signs
After the plans have changed their shape
After enough mistakes to know what to escape

There's no shame in taking the long way around
Or finding solid ground after losing it once
A life doesn't need to look like the dream
To mean more than it ever seemed

[Bridge]
High hopes can survive a change of plans
A little less certainty, a little more chance
What matters isn't where the road began
But what still feels worth reaching for

The horizon hasn't closed its door
There's still a whole lot waiting out there

[Final-Chorus]
Got a life to live
And every mile has something left to show
Not every dream needs a perfect ending
Some are worth carrying just for the journey

Got a life to live
With enough room for whatever comes next
The past can keep the stories it wrote
There's still plenty of road beneath these boots

[Outro]
No grand plan carved into stone
Just an open road and a way of my own
Whatever waits beyond tonight
There's enough left to make it mine

One more day
One more road
One more chance
Got a life to live
