BUT WE WON’T

INTRO
VERSE
We were saving up for that big trip to Hawaii
Dropping all our change in an oversized glass-shaped elephant
And that sexy negligee—that I watched you hide away
For our annivers’ry in September coming up
All those moments we were planning
Are now just memories in my mind
Looking forward to tomorrow’s
Like trying to fly a string without a kite

CHORUS
If one thing is certain it’s that
Nothing is certain
You gotta live like today
Is the last day of your life
Go out on a limb—stick out your neck
If you ain’t in the water you can’t get wet
Those ole rainy days will be there from now on
But we won’t

VERSE
Tell the one you love you love them each and every day
Visit friends the next time you’re in town and don’t turn away
And that fishing trip to Mexico Joe swears we’re gonna take
It’s gonna happen and it’s gonna happen right away
Before you know it time is gone
And you’re left wondering where it went
Can’t pay it back like it’s a loan
And you sure as Heaven can’t extend the rent

REPEAT CHORUS

(INSTRUMENTAL)

BRIDGE
If it’s true our days are numbered like the stars
I wanna make mine count—before moving on

REPEAT CHORUS (Breakdown on first 4 lines) Stop

TAG
Yeah those old rainy days will be there from now on
But we won’t (ECHO) No we won’t (ECHO)
