Better Get To Livin' - Dolly Parton

People always coming up to me, and asking
"Dolly, what's your secret?"
"With all you do, you're additude, just seems to be so good,
How do you keep it?"
Well I'm not the Dali Lama, but I'll try,
To offer up a few words of advice...

You better get to livin', givin',
Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin',
And love along the way.
You better get to knowin', showin,
A little bit more concerned about where you're goin',
Just a work unto the wise...
You better get to livin'.

A girlfriend came to my house,
Started crying on my shoulder Sunday evenin',
She was spinnin' such a sad tale,
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin',
So negative the words she had to say,
I said if I had a violin I'd play.

I said you better get to livin', givin',
Be willin' and forgivin', cause all healin' has to start with YOU.
Better quit whinin', pinin', just get your dreams in line,
And then just shine, design, refine til they come true,
And you better get to livin'.

Life's a wreak, house is a mess,
And your wardrobe's way outdated,
All your plans just keep on fallin' through,
Overweight and underpaid, underappreciated,
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you, this I know is true...

You better get to livin', givin',
A little more thought about bein' a bit willin' to make a better way,
Don't sweat the small stuff,
Keep your chin up,
Just hang tough,
And when it gets too rough,
Fall on your knees and pray...
And do that everyday,
Then you'll get to livin'.

The day we're born we start to die,
Don't waste one minute of this life...get to livin',
Share your dreams and share your laughter,
Makes some point for the Great Hereafter.

Better start carin', better start sharin'
Better start tryin', better start smilin'
And you better get to livin'!
