Bucket List Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mitchell Tenpenny]
Yeah, I hate that the only way, I can say what I need to say
Is with a prayer I hope is getting through the clouds (Getting through the clouds)
Now, you're forever young, and I'm livin' like I'm dyin'
All I'm doing is just trying to make you proud

[Pre-Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny]
Yeah, life is like a first kiss
You don't know how long it's gonna last
All you get is what you get
And it gets real really fast

[Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny]
I'ma love a little more, dream a little deeper
Leave all the leavers, keep all the keepers
Find peace of mind in the time the Good Lord gives (Time the Good Lord gives)
I'ma cross one off, put two more on it
Say, "I love you" 'fore the moment's gone
And never have to ask myself, "What if"
When I get to the bottom of my bucket list

[Verse 2: Danny Gokey]
Mine used to look real petty
Was the picture in the dictionary
Of the guy that wasn't ready to grow up
And all it took was a last goodbye
A broken heart on borrowed time
And letting go of things that are hard to let go of
[Chorus: Danny Gokey]
Now I love a little more, dream a little deeper
Leave all the leavers, keep all the keepers
Find peace of mind in the time the Good Lord gives (Time the Good Lord gives)
I'ma cross one off, put two more on it
Say, "I love you" 'fore the moment's gone
And never have to ask myself, "What if"
When I get to the bottom of my bucket list

[Post-Chorus: Danny Gokey]
Oh, my bucket list, oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny]
Yeah, life is like a first kiss
You don't know how long it's gonna last
All you get is what you get
And it gets real really fast

[Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny & Danny Gokey]
I'ma love a little more, dream a little deeper
Leave all the leavers, keep all the keepers
Find peace of mind in the time the Good Lord gives
I'ma cross one off (Hey), put two more on it
Say, "I love you" 'fore the moment's gone
And never have to ask myself, "What if" (What if)
When I get to the bottom of my bucket list, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny & Danny Gokey]
(Yeah, oh-oh-oh)
The bottom of my bucket list (Oh-oh-oh)

[Outro: Danny Gokey]
When I get to the bottom of my bucket list
When I get to the bottom, yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
