The Oak Ridge Boys
Taking One Heartbeat (At A Time)
As I look around on another day
Sometimes I get so mad seeing the same old game
So many people caught in hopeless situations
I can't make much sense there's too much information
Someone's always trying to run someone else's life
Woh, someone's only trying to make it through the night

Putting one foot before the other
One step, then another
No map, no sign, taking one heartbeat at a time
It's a long road in a short life
One foot's on the other side
We look for love before we die
Taking one heartbeat at a time

One thing I know, the only thing I'm sure of
There wouldn't be much point without your love
On this ship of fools, don't know where we're going
Most of what we're told is not worth the knowing
Someone's always trying to sell a new version of the truth
After all the words have gone, all I still believe is you

In putting one foot before the other
One step, then another
No map, no sign, taking one heartbeat at a time
It's a long road in a short life
One foot's on the other side
We look for love before we die
Taking one heartbeat at a time
We're putting one foot before the other
One step, then another
No map, no sign, taking one heartbeat at a time
It's a long road in a short life
One foot's on the other side
We look for love before we die
Taking one heartbeat at a time
Woh wo woh no map, no sign, taking one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat at a time
We look for love before we die
