"Live It Up" + lyrics

My newest song from the album Against All Odds. I dedicate this to everyone at South, mostly the seniors of 2011. Here's the song and lyrics.

Live It Up by Chris Black

We've come a long way.
You know what I'm saying?
We've come a LONG way.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

I open my eyes, and my whole life seems to be changing
In front of my face. I remember a place when we all had a dream to be chasing.
A baseball player, a firefighter, or whatever.
Or possibly even an astronaut blasting off with Endeavor.
One minute kindergarden, the next I graduate.
No I can't turn the clocks back, and yes it's sad to say but
My greatest memories are right here in my backyard.
I never thought that moving on would be that hard.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

I've done bad. Hell, I've done good.
I didn't take bad oppurtunities that some would.
I've been a smart, dumb son, Mom, forgive me.
And for the next few years, while I'm gone try not to miss me.
I'll be near my older brother everyday
Both of us some Buckeyes at THE Ohio State.
Yeah, shout if you're going but to everyone who ain't:
Much love and I promise that I won't forget your name,
I'm just a phone call away.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

(You know what, I can't even think of a bridge
So I'm just gonna freestyle this real quick.)

And unfortunately got no time for girls.
I'm trying to make this whole world
Rotate underneath me, make sure that none of these
Haters beat me, and make sure that I do 3D.
Always keep it real, Chris Black, I'ma be me.
I'ma - yeah I'ma be me.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

And I won't let this moment die.
I'm gonna make this the night of my life.
And I won't let this moment die.
I'm gonna live it up. Yeah, I'm gon' live it up.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

And as I sing this song I cry
I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you.
But we have to move on with our lives.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.

High school, man. These are some good years, you know.
I mean, the whole time we're, you know, we're all
Complaining about it and what-not but,
Now that we're actually leaving it's just like, "woah."
You know? I mean I've never been that good with
Change in the first place and now all these people that
I grew up with, I just gotta, I just gotta leave behind.
Damn.
