Lyrics
I once heard from a wise old fool:
“Can’t catch time, cause it’s already caught you.”
So I ran with my golden youth,
Forgot my Bible, but I swear, I swear, I’ll read that soon.
I tumbled northward with the world’s best band,
Couldn’t play my stay in this goddamn forsaken land.
So I tied my shoes and headed West,
To find salvation just like all the rest.
She, she said “how do you do?” And I said,
“I’m alright, I’m just living my life.”
I got a tune in my head, and it rings till Kingdom come, this will be done,
And someday, we’ll all be gone.
Became a slave to some lying truth,
Bent my back to save my neck from the noose.
Broke my shackles, and got lost in the wind,
Kept the dust with me from all the places I have been.
She, she said “how do you do?” And I said,
“Hell alright, I’m just chasing the time.”
I got a fire in my head, and it burns till Kingdom come, this will be done,
And someday, we’ll all be gone.
No traveler will out-tongue me,
I’ve seen the Devil and he just let me be.
Fool me once, and I’ll fool you twice,
I got a grin ‘cause I rigged the dice.
She, she said “how do you do?” And I said,
“Hell alright, I’m just pissing my life.”
I got a love in my head, and it screams till Kingdom come, this will be done,
And someday...
I’m older and I won’t forget,
My dear ma’s words and what she said, “boy, you ain’t dead yet.”
Tell my brothers that I love them so,
Tell my good pa, I don’t think I’m coming back home,
Coming back home,
Again.
