Life Is To Short To Mess Around

Times are getting harder these days. Seems it was better the old ways. When a smile and a handshake were all you’d need. Now,it’s hard when you want to smile. People used to go the extra mile. They say they want friends but won’t take lead. (CHORUS) Life is to short to mess around. While you get kicked on the ground. Faith seems to have left without a sound. Life is to short to mess around. Every day it’s the same old thing. Now you don’t here the church bells ring. Then we’d all gather round for a big sunday dinner. Now a tent revival can’t be found. No more eating dinners on the ground. We are all the same.we can make each other a winner. (CHORUS) Life is to short to mess around. While you get kicked on the ground. Faith seems to have left without a sound. Life is to short to mess around. Too much violence and too much hate. We need to change before it’s too late. Now is the time to get back to the old ways of life. We don’t know our neighbors anymore. Don’t call or knock on their door. Don’t know if their happy or if their in strife.
