I was born two weeks early.
I've always been in a hurry
I hit the ground running behind.
Seven years old, arm in a sling,
Swinging too high on a tire swing
Daddy said “dust yourself off, son,
It's gonna be that kind of life”.

Chorus
Sun goes up, sun goes down,
Get a little tougher every time around.
Win some, lose some, it's all part of the fight.
See what you want, you gotta go get it.
It'll drive you crazy if you let it.
Love it and live it and never regret it,
It's gonna be that kinda life.

I thought I had a girl at seventeen,
But heard the quarterback had a thing.
My heart was broken, I thought I was gonna die, yea.
Twenty-one trying to find myself,
Thinking that there's gotta be something else.
Stuck in a tunnel, searching for light,
It's gonna be that kind of life.

Chorus

Then out of nowhere,
Green eyes, blonde hair,
Turns it all around.
I'm a good dad, and she's a good mommy.
Got a two year old and we're trying for another.
Crazy how it all works out right,
It's that kind of life.

Chorus

Love it and live it and never regret it
It's gonna be that kind of life.
