[Verse] At seventeen, I got my first paycheck to cash Wasn't much, but it was more than I ever had It was burning a hole in my pocket Dad said, "Don't spend it just 'cause you got it." It took every ounce of will for me to make it last And no dog teaching me new tricks ever made much sense But I've been so hard-headed on learning the hard way ever since he said: [Chorus] You could be the first to make a plan, but understand that it might change You can get the truck to match the house; somebody еlse'll change the paint Don't think you ain't on borrowеd time 'cause you only get one go at life Pump the brakes before He takes you back And if you're losin' track of days, you're goin' way too fast 'Cause it ain't a race to heaven, so I hope you make it last [Verse] At twenty-three, I heard the first "I love you" back I never felt a feeling quite like that Day one of forever with her Momma told me to take a picture to make it last Now, that's the only thing left of you I have [Chorus] And you could be the first to make a plan, but understand that it might change You can get the truck to match the house; somebody else'll change the paint Don't think you ain't on borrowed time 'cause you only get one go at life Pump the brakes before He takes you back And if you're losin' track of days, you're goin' way too fast 'Cause it ain't a race to heaven, so I hope you make it last [Bridge] I hope you don't beat your buddies to those gates But if you do, there's no room for regrets in that suitcase [Chorus] And you could be the first to make a plan, but understand that it might change You can get the truck to match the house; somebody else'll change the paint Don't think you ain't on borrowed time 'cause you only get one go at life Pump the brakes before He takes you back And if you're losin' track of days, you're goin' way too fast 'Cause it ain't a race to heaven, so I hope you make it last
