Start Living lyrics
He just can t wait to graduate, he s marking time and counting days
He ll toss that cap and watch that tassel fly
So he can start living, yeah, finally start living
Cause he s got big plans and he ll have time on his hands to start living

Before he knows ten years are gone, a dead end job, a mortgage loan
He wonders where the chances passed him by
To really start living, yeah, he wants to start living
And soon he s sure, he can finally afford to start living

He ll read more books, he ll make more love
He ll talk more to the man above
He ll watch the sunset in the west
And visit Mexico

He ll learn to cook, he ll play some ball
He ll write that book, he ll make that call
He ll take the time, some other time
Someday he ll do it all

Well sittin in the barber chair, he sees the silver in his hair
Those golden years are comin right behind
And then he ll start living, he ll really start living
Yeah, he feels tired, ah, but soon he ll retire and start living

He ll read more books, he ll make more love
He ll talk more to the man above
He ll watch the sunset in the west
And visit Mexico

He ll learn to cook, he ll play some ball
He ll write that book, he ll make that call
He ll take the time, some other time
Someday he ll do it all

Well the doctor says, I ve got bad news, afraid there s nothing we can do
And all at once the tears are in his eyes
He ll never start living, never really start living
Yeah, he had big plans but there s no time on his hands to start living

When he sees the pearly gates
He ll really start living
