Montrose Make It Last lyrics

Well, I remember when I was seventeen
My father told me, "Pick your dreams"
He said life ain't easy as it seems
When you get older you'll see what I mean

At the time, I wanted to be 21
It seemed the right age for havin' fun
But when I got there I was still too young
And 25 seemed to be the one

But now I live my life from day to day
'Cause I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm 64
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more


You know that sweet girl you've been chasin' round
She got you hooked 'long as she keeps you down
Well, I know what happens once she comes around
It won't be long and you'll be back on the town

Lord, yes, alright
Things between, they suit you right
But once you get them it seems like they're all alike
So make it last as long as you can
It's so much easier when you understand
