(Opener): circle left
I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone 
- drivin' way too fast 
Left Allemande that corner, TURN the PARTNER by the RIGHT
Allemande Left your corner Weave The Ring
And days go by... I can feel 'em flyin'
Swing that girl and Promenade
The cars go by...  Yeah it's all we've been given
 - So you better start livin' right now

(Middle Break & Closer): Sides Face Grand Square
We think about tomorrow then it slips away 
- Oh, yes, it does
We talk about forever but we've only got  
Allemande and Weave
And days go by... I can feel 'em flyin'
 - Like a hand out the window in the wind
Swing that girl and Promenade
The cars go by...  Yeah it's all we've been given
 - So you better start livin' right now

(Tag): ‘Cause days go 
Allemande Left your corner SWING there with your baby
– you take her now and a-when your ready there… 
hey you BOW…

(Figure): HEADS SQUARE THRU baby you get FOUR hands in time – My corner lady DO SA DO her so fine SWING THRU right on SPIN THE TOP and go – Move up and do the RIGHT AND LEFT THRU SQUARE THRU go THREE Hands and now your Corner SWING – swing that girl and PROMENADE that ring
The cars go by...  Yeah it's all we've been given
 - So you better start livin' right now

 

 

(Tag): ‘Cause days go – Allemande Left your corner SWING there with your baby

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

(Verse)
I'm changing lanes and talkin' on the phone

                                      - Drivin' way too fast
And the interstates jammed with gunners like me

                                      - Afraid of comin' in last
But somewhere in the race we run,
We're coming undone...

(Chorus)
And days go by... I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window in the wind
The cars go by... Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin' right now
'Cause days go by... Oh and a woo-hoo...

Out on the roof just the other night

                             - I watched the world flash by
Headlights, taillights,

                - Running through a river of neon signs 
But somewhere in the rush I felt,
We're losing ourselves...

(Bridge)
We think about tomorrow then it slips away
Oh, yes, it does
We talk about forever but we've only got today...

And the days go by...
I can feel 'em flyin'
Like a hand out the window as the cars go by...
Yeah it's all we've been given,
So you better start livin', 
You better start livin',
Better start livin' right now!

(Ending)
So take 'em by the hand - They're yours and mine.
Take 'em by the hand - And live your life
Take 'em by the hand - Don't let 'em all fly by!

Come on, Come on now... Yeah!
Come on now! Oh and a woo-hooo!
Don't you know the days go by...
