[Verse 1] I’ve kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland, Watched Broadway lights come on, Walked across Abbey Road Like that’s where I belonged. I’ve flown just above the treetops, Swam where the water’s blue, I keep a list of crazy things I swore someday I’d do. [Pre-Chorus] Some already have a checkmark, Some are waiting on their turn, But every one I’ve checked off Is a memory I earned. [Chorus] Before I kick the bucket, I’m gonna fill it to the top, With places that I’ve never been And reasons not to stop. I wanna chase the Northern Lights, See Paris after dark, Throw a dart against a map And go wherever it marks. I don’t wanna leave this world With all my dreams untouched— Before I kick the bucket, I wanna live so much. [Verse 2] I wanna hug a redwood, Float weightless in the air, Ride a horse beside the ocean With the salt wind in my hair. See pyramids in Egypt, Watch Rome beneath the sun, And if I make it through the list, I’ll write another one. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause someday isn’t promised, And time won’t wait around, So when adventure calls my name, I’m getting off the couch. [Chorus] Before I kick the bucket, I’m gonna fill it to the top, With places that I’ve never been And reasons not to stop. I wanna chase the Northern Lights, See Paris after dark, Throw a dart against a map And go wherever it marks. I don’t wanna leave this world With all my dreams untouched— Before I kick the bucket, I wanna live so much. [Bridge] It isn’t about collecting A hundred things I’ve done, It’s knowing when I had the chance I chose to have some fun. The list is just a reminder While the years are rolling by— There’s a whole world out there waiting, And I’m not done with mine. [Final Chorus] Before I kick the bucket, I’m gonna fill it to the top, With stories worth remembering And reasons not to stop. I’ll chase another sunrise, I’ll wander somewhere new, And keep on adding crazy things I never thought I’d do. I’ve still got miles ahead of me, And dreams I’m chasing down— Before I kick the bucket, I’m gonna live right now. [Outro] Cross one off, add two more— That’s what a bucket list is for.
