[Intro: original instrumental Holler motif] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature male] I tried to sell a bunch of flowers Told the buyer they'd last three days He said, no thanks, I kept on smiling And I put the flowers back in place [Chorus: Bubba male; Darlene female harmony] What if you just lived today Told the truth and let things fall their way Worked with both hands, sang your song Didn't drag a hundred worries along What if what is here is enough to give What if you just lived [Verse 2: Darlene, female lead] I can make an honest living Without demanding every sale And when the evening meets my doorway I don't have to carry what might fail [Bridge: duet] Let me make a plan when needed But never worship how it goes Let my actions speak with kindness [Final Chorus: full Holler Shakers] What if you just lived today Told the truth and let things fall their way Worked with both hands, sang your song Didn't drag a hundred worries along What if what is here is enough to give What if you just lived [Outro: held resolved chord, no abrupt cutoff]
