[Willie Nelson:] Time flies by In the blink of an eye When you get paid for having too much fun Kicking out the foot lights Living the night life Like tomorrow ain't never going to come Wouldn't change much of nothing About this road we've been running For of wild times, wild women, and a song But we would've taking much better care of ourselves If we would have known we would live this long
[Merle Haggard:] Whiskey goes down Like cold, spring water Over rocks, and the close of the day When you're flying like Eagles Down American highways You lose a lot of friends along the way But we just keep on moving And rolling along Can't look back We might turn to stone But we would've taking much better care of ourselves If we would have known we was gonna live this long
[Willie Nelson:] If we would've known we would live this long We might have changed things up a bit We still would've lived out every song Just maybe not quite as fast as we did
[Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard:] But we're in pretty good shape, Will The shape we're in We'll keep rocking along, until we're gone But we would've taking much better care of ourselves If we would have known we was gonna live this long Yeah, we would've taking much better care of ourselves If we would have known we was gonna live this long
