Well, I remember when I was seventeen,
My father told me, pick your dreams
He said life ain't easy as it seems
When you get older you'll see what I mean

At the time, I wanted to be twenty-one
It seemed the right age for havin' fun
But when I got there I was still too young
And twenty-five seemed to be the one

But now I live my life from day to day
'Cause I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more

You know that sweet girl you've been chasin' round
She got you hooked 'long as she keeps you down
Well, I know what happens once she comes around
It won't be long and you'll be back on the town

But now I live my life from day to day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more

Lord, yes alright
Things between, they suit you right
But once you get them it seems like they're all alike
So make it last as long as you can
It's so much easier when you understand

But now I live my life from day to day
I wouldn't have it any other way, no, no
Whether I'm twelve or whether I'm sixty-four
I spend my time like there ain't gonna be no more

Oh alright
Keep on rolling, come on, make it last
Keep on rolling, right on now yeah
Right on down (keep on rollin')
Make it last (keep on rollin')
As long as you can (keep on rollin')
Keep on rollin'
Come on
Keep on rollin'
Come on, make it last (keep on rollin')
As long as you can
You got to make it last (keep on rollin')
And last, and last and last, last and last
Keep on rollin', rollin', rolling' right on down (keep on rollin') (rollin', rollin')

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
