Now that I have lived
A lifetimes worth of days
Finally I see
The folly of my waysSo listen when I sing of
The temptations of this world
Fancy cars and needles
Whisky, flesh and pearlsAnd then in the end
Its family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
Its about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls youve made cry
Its about make a little music everyday til you di-ieBeautiful ride (Chorus)As I stand on the precipice of death
My perspective is enormous
Every leaf, every cloud
I see the hands which have formed us
And some days all you got
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
And you whistle some quick melody
To the ghosts down at the dockIts about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls youve made cry
Its about make a little music everyday til you di-ieBeautiful ride(Chorus)(bridge--)
Sing in to your hand
Lead the marching band
Dont you let em fade your colors gray
Cause when all is said and done
When youth is spent and burned
Youll see that its all about
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
This is finally what Ive learned!And then in the end
Its family and friends
Loving yourself
But not only yourself
Its about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls youve made cry
Its about make a little music everyday til you di-ieBeautiful ride
(Chorus-2x)
