Now I said it and I meant it
Take a picture don’t forget it
Turn the lights down low

See it shimmer in gold and glitter 
Turn your collar as you shiver
To the airs first hint of snow
Only a fool waits to long
You might come and simply sing along

You gotta live right now this very day
Go from coast to coast across the U.S.A
Turn the radio up all the way
If you want to sway

Go on and stand up put your hands up
Pledge allegiance,go demand some
You were born on the Fourth of July 
Go on and holler spend your last dollar
Feast or famine we’ll be jamming
As the saints go marching by
Time is cruel as it creeps along
Hope to find some meaning in this song

You gotta live right now this very day
Go from coast to coast across the U.S.A
Turn the radio up all the way

Are you ready to hold it steady
Leave your footprints in confetti 
Be a catcher in the rye
As you sadly wave goodbye

You gotta live right now this very day
Go from coast to coast across the U.S.A.
Turn the radio up all the way
I’m gonna be the one
When you see the sun you know
