Hanging by a thread
From the tree of this life
Well I've been spinning
Round and round and round inside my flesh cocoonAn old beat up pinto
Might be what I drive for now
But I'll be driving a Cadillac soon'Cause you know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets
When I leave this place for goodWhen I say my last farewells
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead
I'm just changing neighborhoodsLiving in this place
That is only temporary
I said that this old world
Is in the process of slipping awayThough I have such a future I've got to be wary
And my bright tomorrow doesn't blind me
To what God has for me today'Cause you know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets
When I leave this place for goodWhen I say my last farewells
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead
I'm just changing neighborhoodsYou know one day I will fly
To my mansion in the sky
And I'll have no regrets
When I leave this place for goodWhen I say my last farewells
Oh, please don't forget to tell them
That I'm not really dead
I'm just changing neighborhoods
