I recently had the amazing opportunity to see Darius Rucker, former lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, now a solo country artist, perform at a bar in downtown Mpls promoting his new country album. He is truly a passionate singer and it is reflected in the songs he writes. I thought I would start showcasing some of them that inspired me and made me think in the hopes that it might inspire others and go by his CD! The song below is on his new album and he performed it acapella at the show I saw and it was amazing...there were people in the crowd with watery eyes at the end of the song:
"While I Still Got The Time"
Thirty-nine (39) candles burnt out on a cake
Each representin’ a million mistakes
The last one still burns, there’s a wish I can make
This time I’m getting’ it right
So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
And I promise myself in the time I have left
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watchin’
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
Lovin’ me hasn’t been easy on you
I don’t know why, but I know you still do
It may be my day, but here’s a present for you
You’re lookin’ at your new man
He’s sincere and sober and faithful and kind
And he’s home when you need him and girl startin’ tonight
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watchin’
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong
Life is too short, baby, I’ve wasted ours for too long
And baby from now on
I’m gonna work like I don’t need the money
I’m gonna laugh like I’m not afraid to cry
I’m gonna dance like nobody’s watchin’
I’m gonna love while I still got the time
