S.G. Swain - All You Need Lyrics

There is water at the bottom of the ocean
there are clouds at the top of the sky
and in between 'em we live our lives in motion
as we curse each wasted year that passes by

Daddy said, "Son, you'll only live once.
And you're gonna be dead an eternity.
So don't waste your time a-wastin' time,
here's the bottom line:
Leave the best, take the rest, it's all you need."

This world is round and a-spinnin' on it's axis
fair and square ain't words that come to mind
there ain't no certainty 'cept death and taxes
and in the end you'll leave it all behind

Daddy said, "Son, you'll only live once.
And you're gonna be dead an eternity.
So don't waste your time a-wastin' time,
here's the bottom line:
Leave the best, take the rest, it's all you need."

Some folks think they need a fancy mansion
and some folks like to drive them fancy cars
and then there's those that're into mind expansion
but I'm just happy with the way things are

'Cause my Daddy said, "Son, you'll only live once.
And you're gonna be dead for eternity.
So don't waste your time a-wastin' time,
here's the bottom line:
Leave the best, take the rest, it's all you need."
