D                                D7 
Time flies by in the blink of an eye
             G                           D
When you get paid for having too much fun
D                   D/C#    D/B                D/A
Kicking out the footlights, living the night life
       E7                          A
Like tomorrow ain't never going to come

D                                          D7
Wouldn't change much of nothing about this road we've been running
        G                            D
Full of wild times, wild women and a song
           G                  D       D/C#  D/B   
But we'd-a takin' much better care of ourselves
                 G                A         D
If we would have known we's gonna live this long



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'd-a takin' much better care of ourselves
If we would have known we was gonna live this long


Bridge:
   Bm         Bm/Bb         Bm/A            E7
If we'd known we were gonna live this long
G                        A        D
We might have changed things up a bit
   Bm             Bm/Bb     Bm/A       E7
We still would've lived out every song
     G                             A  
Just maybe not quite as fast as we did


But we're in pretty good shape, Will for the shape we're in
We'll keep rocking along 'til we're gone
We'd-a takin' 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
