I Aint Got No Time For Dying

She said I wanna walk my granddaughter down the aisle

She said I wanna see my great grandson's first smile

She said I wanna take a flight to see Paris and Rome

She said I wanna see my deployed grandson come home     

       

Time's running out

And she's been trying

To slow down these hands

That are quickly ticking by

She said I ain't got no time for dying

She said I wanna feel the butterflies from a first date

She said I haven't felt that feeling since he rests in his grave

It's been many long years life's been passing her by

And she's not afraid of death because she feels so alive

                                         

But time's running out

And she's been trying

To slow down these hands

That are quickly ticking by

She said I ain't got no time for dying

She said I wanna take a walk down a western coast

She said I wanna feel the sand in between my toes

And she'll watch the hours pass, but she won't stand still

Cause when she looks into her past she finds the strength and will

               

But time's running out

And she's been trying

To slow down these hands

That are quickly ticking by

She said I ain't got no time for dying

She said I ain't got no time for dying

She said I ain't got no time for dying

Oh no Oh no She ain't got no time

She lives out her life like it'll never end

It's not how long she lives

It's about time she has to spend

       

Time's running out                

And she's been trying

To slow down these hands                

That are quickly ticking by

She said I ain't got no time for dying

I ain't got no time for dying 

I ain't got no time for dying

She said there are a lot of things I've got left to try

So I'm gonna hold on and decide when it's my time
