We All Die
I can see the end of the road. You don’t have to cry.
I know how this story goes, we all die.
I’ve seen this movie before. It’s about an ordinary guy
He falls in love with the girl next door and they both die.
I never promised you a thing. I never told you any lie.
Make the best of what the future brings, cause then you die.
It’s impossible to say, so I shouldn’t even try,
But any day could be your last day, and then you die.
Everybody comes to an end, every woman, child and man.
The best you can do is find a friend,
And love while you can.
The sun shines down on us each day,
And that’s good for you & I.
We’ll just keep on making hay, until we die.
Everybody comes to an end, every woman, child and man.
Don’t think Time will ever be your friend,
Live while you can.
I know how the story goes,
There’s no need to wonder why.
Just take time to smell the rose,
Before you die.

A Long Life Lived (In a Very Short Time)
A man will tell his story like a workingman’s tale,
But the mountains measure time on a different scale.
I was born in a cabin not far from here,
And I’ve lived in these hills for 87 years.
The crows tell the story in meter and rhyme,
Of a long life lived, in a very short time.
I’ve been through the rain, the sun and the snow,
And I’ve seen generations come and go.
The river erodes the ancient plateau,
And reveals the fossils in the valley below.
The water carves the stone and tells the story sublime,
Of a long life lived, in a very short time.
When water covered the Ozarks the Devil gave a sign,
Then God made a mark like a footprint in the pines.
The earth is turning. The planets align.
We should all be so lucky. We should all feel so fine.
The stars tell the story as they wheel and shine,
Of a long life lived, in a very short time.
And the crows tell the story in meter and rhyme,
Of a long life lived, in a very short time.

That Train (That is Coming So Slow)
Shake off your cloak of discomfort.
Take off the mantle of woe.
Crossing the river with purpose,
Bearing with the mean and the slow.
Pay no attention to others.
Others will come and they’ll go.
And don’t turn your back to the railroad tracks,
And that train that is coming so slow.
Coming so slow. Coming so slow.
When it arrives, God only knows.
If your life has a purpose, then let it show.
So don’t complain, just remember that train,
That is coming so slow.
Coming so slow. Coming so slow.
It’s on its way, wherever you go.
If Love is the answer, then the question I know.
Forget your pain. Just remember that train,
That is coming so slow.
So don’t complain, there’s always that train,
That is coming so slow.

Gunga Den
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
Down on the corner by the cotton gin.
You’ll find me there, 3 sheets to the wind.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
If you weren’t there, you should have been.
You can sit right there and watch the world spin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
It’s a great place to find a friend
You can’t lose and you can’t win.
It ain’t no sin, down at a Gunga Den.
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
It’s a beautiful sight with all the women and men,
Loosened up with juice and gin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
I did it once and I’ll do it again.
You won’t break if you know how to bend.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
Gunga Den. Gunga Den.
Tell your ma and your next of kin.
It’s the best place to pick and grin.
It ain’t no sin, down at Gunga Den.
