  • Come on boys

    I ain’t a guy to just kick back
    And watch bikes race around the track
    I’m white knuckled to the handle bars with both my hands
    No I ain’t one to just stand around
    While a parachute falls to the ground
    I gotta be hanging underneath it when it lands
    I’m not a wonder what it feels like kinda man

    I wanna ski the deepest Colorado snow
    Feel the heat off a live volcano
    Hangin’ off the edge is my kind of chillin’
    I wanna run with the bulls through the streets of Spain
    Dance with my baby in the thunder and rain
    Do everything I can with the days I’m given
    There’s a difference between being alive and livin’

    I got this daredevil rebel gene
    That pushes me a little past extreme
    I’ve felt it ever since I was a little kid
    I ain’t gonna get to my rockin’ chair
    Scratchin’ a head full of silver hair
    And look back on a bunch of things I wished I did
    I’m gonna meet my maker with an empty bucket list

    I wanna ski the deepest Colorado snow
    Feel the heat off a live volcano
    Hangin’ off the edge is my kind of chillin’
    I wanna run with the bulls through the streets of Spain
    Dance with my baby in the thunder and rain
    Do everything I can with the days I’m given
    There’s a difference between being alive and livin’

    I wanna ski the deepest Colorado snow
    Feel the heat off a live volcano
    Hangin’ off the edge is my kind of chillin’
    I wanna run with the bulls through the streets of Spain
    Dance with my baby in the thunder and rain
    Do everything I can with the days I’m given
    There’s a difference between being alive and livin’
