I don’t wanna spend the rest of my life
Just kinda sorta hanging around
I wanna roll down an open road
And see the lights of another town
Well, I wanna spend the rest of my time
With this pretty little gal I’ve found
I don’t need no reason, don’t need no rhyme
To live it up until they lower me down
Well, I was born without a pot to piss in
Or a window to throw it from
Hey, what works for us and works for them
May not work for some
Yeah, I wanna spend the rest of my time
Just a chasing a crazy sound
I don’t need no reason, don’t need no rhyme
To live it up until they lower me down
Well, life is short, now, buddy
It’s getting shorter everyday
And you’re only here for a couple of years
And then you’ve got Judgement Day
Well, I pray to God, now every night
To let me hang around
I’ll be real good, I swear
I’m just a drinking with my pall bearers
And with any luck at all and a wing and a prayer
I’ll live it up until they lower me down
Now when the Good Lord, comes to take my hand
And lead me to the Promised Land
Wherever I go, above or below
They’d better have a real good band
Yeah, ’cause I wanna spend the rest of my time
Just a chasing a crazy sound
Don’t need no reason, don’t need no rhyme
To live it up until they lower me down
Well, life is short, now, buddy
It’s getting shorter everyday
And you’re lucky, you’re alive until you’re 105,
But you still got Hell to pay.
Well, I pray to God, now every night
To let me hang around
I’ll be real good, I swear
I’m just a drinking with my pall bearers
And with any luck at all and a wing and a prayer
I’ll live it up until they lower me down
Until they lower me down.
Until they lower me down.
Until they lower me down.
