Sunday morning, all dressed for church
Took my buddy, rode a shortcut
Showed up all covered in dirt

Daddy took one look
'Bout to blow his top
But grandma said, ?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
I never saw it coming

But man, I remember my first heartbreak
Grandma smiling
With that bit of a wrinkled face

Said, ?You ain't seen nothing yet,
That girl was just a taste?


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!
Yeah


Girl, do you remember?
When we first met
Life hadn't had a chance

to throw all it had at us yet
And that was ten years later
And you can do the math

But it all adds up to everything
That grandma said way back


Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta go a little further

Gotta get a little deeper
It gets a little sweeter
When you get a little 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!

On ya! On ya!
On ya!
Yeah, yeah


Gotta get a little life on ya!
Little life on ya, yeah


You got to live a little
Breathe harder

Love stronger, yeah

You got to live harder

Love stronger, yeah
