Living with my back against the wall   Nowhere but forward to fall   I close my eyes, somebody catch my breath   Oh, my Lord, let's get on board, the ride's gonna scare me to death, yeah      Oh, I don't wanna leave before my time is done   Don't wanna stick around when my race is run   I don't wanna go before they call my dance   Don't wanna die asking for another chance      Come help me, Poor Richard, won't you help me raise a glass?   Well, here's to me, here's to you, may your dreams all come to pass   Cruel trick of time is played in the wink of an eye   Heavens above don't need no shove, years go sailing by, yeah      Oh, I don't wanna leave before my time is done   Don't wanna stick around when my race is run   I don't wanna go before they call my dance   Don't wanna die asking for another chance, yeah      Another game of chance, a lifetime come and gone   I guess it's up to me, don't wanna sing another man's song   I wanna say what Grandma said, lying on her dying bed   "Yeah, been cheated, mistreated, don't have to sign out yet, yeah"      Oh, I don't wanna leave before my time is done   Don't wanna stick around when my race is run   I don't wanna go before they call my dance   Don't wanna die asking for another chance   No, not another chance   No, not another chance   Oh yeah...
