It's like I'm sitting at a bus stopWaiting for a trainExactly how I got hereIs hard to explainMy heart's in the right placeWhat's left of it I guessMy heart ain't the problemIt's my mind that's a total messWith these rickety old legsAnd these watery eyesIt's hard to believeThat I could pass for anybody's prizeAnd here's what I know aboutThe gifts that God gaveYou can't take 'em with youWhen you go to the graveIt ain't over yetAsk someone who ought to knowNot so very long agoWe were both hung out to dry, andIt ain't over yetAnd you can mark my wordsI don't care what you think you heardWe're still learning how to flyIt ain't over yetFor fools like meWho were built for the chaseIt takes the right kind of womanTo help you put it all in placeAnd it only happened once in my life, butMan, you should have seenHer hair two shades of foxtail redHer eyes some far out sea blue greenI got caught up making a name for myselfYou know what that's aboutOne day your ship comes rolling inAnd the next day it rolls right back outAnd you can't take for grantedNone of this shitThe higher up you fly, boysThe harder it is you're gonna get hitIt ain't over yetI'll say this about thatYou can get up off the matOr you can lay there till you dieNo, it ain't over yetHere's the truth my friendYou can't pack it inAnd we both know why'Cause it ain't over yetSilly boys blind to get there firstThink of second chances as some kind of curseI've known you forever and ever it's trueIf you came by it easy, you wouldn't be youYou make me laughYou make me cryYou make me forget myselfBack when down on my luckKept me up for daysYou were there with the right wordsTo help me crawl out of the mazeAnd when I'd almost convinced myselfThat I was hipper than thouYou stepped up with a warning shotFired sweet and low across the bowNo you don't walk on waterAnd your sarcasm stingsBut the way you move through this old worldSure makes a case for angel wingsI was halfway to the bottomWhen you threw me that lineAnd I'll quote you now verbatim"Get your head out of your own behind"It ain't over yetWhat you wanna betOne more cigaretteAin't gonna send you to the graveIt ain't over yetI've seen your new girlfriendThinks you're the living endGreat big old sparkle in her eyeIt ain't over yet
