What are the March Madness anthem lyrics to Give It Away?
These are the full lyrics to this song by Zac Brown Band:
Yeah, we talk too much, maybe we should be listeningAnd the brakes worn out on the human conditionAll in all we let go when we canSlow it down this just might be our chance
Every night, baby, we should be dancingEvery old chain breaking awayWe got a long life but we got good loveWe got a short time to give it awayGive it away, give it awayWe got a long life but we got good loveWe got a short time to give it away
Take a sip of the sadness of the world and you're gonna feel itTake a swim in the goodness all around and you're gonna keep itPlant yourself somewhere you can growAnd share a little light everywhere you go
Every night, baby, we should be dancingEvery old chain breaking awayWe got a long life but we got good loveAnd we got a short time to give it awayGive it away, give it awayWe got a long life but we got good loveAnd we got a short time to give it awayAh, now give it away
Every night, baby, we should be dancingEvery old chain breaking awayWe got a long life but we got good loveWe got a short timeGive it away, give it awayWe got a long life but we got good loveWe got a short time toGive it away(oh, give it away), give it away (oh, yeah)We got a long life but we got good loveWe got a short time to give it away
You won't hear the full song in the commercials, of course.
If you attend the March Madness Music Festival on April 4 at the Final Four, though, you'll be able to hear the whole thing. Zac Brown Band will be the headlining act there.
