Live Myself To Death
They've got me shackled to the grindstone
Working this assembly line
Working like a dog from early in the morning
Sometimes until the sun don't shine
I'll be watching that clock and I'm ready to rock
when that little hand points to five
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
We'll I'll be living it up till the day they lay me down
I'll start kicking when they put me six feet under the ground
I know there's a train coming but until that train arrives
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
Cause I'm a juke joint jumpin' honky tonkin' fool
I've still got a few good years left of these cowboy boots
Yeah when my time comes
I don't mind going cause I won't be standing in line
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die (Hook it boys)
I've got an eight o'clock date with a cutie from the dine to five
There's a band out of Nashville jumpin' at the w'5
Saint Peter knows where to find me if I need to be found tonight
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
Cause I'm a juke joint jumpin' honky tonkin' fool
Tonight I'll be draggin' all the leather off my cowboy boots
Yeah when my time comes I don't mind going
but I won't be standing in line
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
I know there's a train coming
Saint Peter brother take your time
I'm gonna live myself to death before I die
Working this assembly line
Working like a dog from early in the morning
Sometimes until the sun don't shine
I'll be watching that clock and I'm ready to rock
when that little hand points to five
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
We'll I'll be living it up till the day they lay me down
I'll start kicking when they put me six feet under the ground
I know there's a train coming but until that train arrives
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
Cause I'm a juke joint jumpin' honky tonkin' fool
I've still got a few good years left of these cowboy boots
Yeah when my time comes
I don't mind going cause I won't be standing in line
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die (Hook it boys)
I've got an eight o'clock date with a cutie from the dine to five
There's a band out of Nashville jumpin' at the w'5
Saint Peter knows where to find me if I need to be found tonight
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
Cause I'm a juke joint jumpin' honky tonkin' fool
Tonight I'll be draggin' all the leather off my cowboy boots
Yeah when my time comes I don't mind going
but I won't be standing in line
I'm gonna' live myself to death before I die
I know there's a train coming
Saint Peter brother take your time
I'm gonna live myself to death before I die
