Well your wishes and your feelings, your bad dreams and intuitions.
Are about as much use to me right now as a brand new set of golf clubs.
We've been this close to death before, but we were just too drunk to know it.
Guess the price of being sober is being scared out of your mind.
When it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it.
Ain't no use in thinking 'bout it, you'll just drive yourself insane.
There comes a time for everything, and the time has come for you
to shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane.
Ain't nothing I'd rather do right now than just go on home and lay around.
But that ain't never an option for a working man like me.
How much is enough you ask? Well I'll ask the man when I get a chance.
All I know right now is there's somewhere else I'm suppose to be.
When it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it.
Ain't no use in thinking bout it, you'll just drive yourself insane.
There comes a time for everything, and the time has come for you
to shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane.
Screaming engines, shooting flames, dirty needles and cheap cocaine.
Some gal's old man with a gun, to me it's all the same.
Dead is dead and it ain't no different than walking around if you ain't living.
Living in fear's just another way of dying before your time.
When it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it.
Ain't no use in thinking bout it, you'll just drive yourself insane.
There comes a time for everything, and the time has come for you
to shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane.
Shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane.
