mornin' Sunday all dressed for church

Took a muddy road shortcut

Showed up all covered in dirt
Daddy took one look, 'bout to blow his top
I remember grandma sayin' it'll
Come out in the wash
Gotta get a little life on ya

Ain't always pretty, gonna get a little dirty

Gotta get a little life on ya, on ya, on ya
Gotta get a little life on ya

About five years later,

I can't remember her name
Never say in comin'
But man I remember my first heartbreak

Grandma smiling with that beautiful wrinkled face
Said you ain't nothin' seen yet
That girl was just a taste
Gotta get a little life on ya

Ain't always pretty, might get a little dirty

Gotta get a little life on ya, on ya, said on ya

Gotta get a little life on ya

Girl, do you remember when we first met

Life hadn't had a chance to throw all it us had yetat

Now it's ten years later and you can do the math
But it adds all up to everything that grandma said way back
Gotta get a little life on ya, get a little life on ya
Gotta go a little further, gotta live a little longer
It gets a little sweeter when you get a little life on ya
Gotta get a little life on ya
Ain't always pretty, gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya, said on ya, said on ya

Gotta get a little life on ya
