My hands ain't wanting to work
Let me just play it for a second
♪
I'm gonna shine
Me, I'm gonna shine
Yeah, I just shine
'Till I don't shine no more
A lot of things I said
A lot of things I've done
People walking in and out of my life that I love
I got this brother though, in Pittsburgh I still ain't met
Uh huh, my life ain't over yet
When the shots have taken, flat fizzle out
I've just turned to the bottle
Tipped it upside down
Fit all twenty-one inches of my feet in my mouth
I'm a ten and a half for those of y'all don't count
It's been a full time job to be my second best
But then again, my life ain't over yet
So, I'm gonna shine
Me, I'm gonna shine
Yeah, I just shine
'Till I don't shine no more
When the fucks I give and the damns I don't
Ain't matching up correctly
Start to rock the boat
I grew up in a field, corn on all four sides
I managed to get giddy up and giddy out in time
I've been coast to coast
But not in fashion
But some style
And hell, there's still time
My life ain't over yet
I've been a little too hyper, I've been a lot too mean
Been expunged and shunned from many so called scenes
Even manage to freak out ol' D Cobb
He told me Mr. Isbell is well much more calm
Despite all the troubles he's had in his past
And all the drugs he used to do
Well, it's true
Yeah, I've lived real hard, man I've lived life fast
I got this big block installed under the hood of my chest
I'm talking about my heart folks
It's heavily set
Gotta always be tinkering and tweaking
To keep the fucker ticking
My life ain't over yet
So, I'm gonna shine
Me, I'm gonna shine
Yeah, I just shine
'Till I don't shine no more
♪
I've cheated on some women
All the rumours are true
Been so ashamed of myself
Literally made me puke
Hurt people, hurt people, but that ain't no excuse
Kids, don't ever try to drink your weight in booze
And for all that's uncertain in my hope, lies my truths
Yeah, they do
I got a foot in the grave
And one way out yonder
Some nights I watch the sky
Like to sit and ponder
'Bout the direction I'll be taking after six feet under
It's a waste in my time though if I'm just being honest
Heaven better wait, 'cause I ain't good as I can get
That's why I think my lucky stars
My life ain't over yet
So, I'm gonna shine
Me, I'm gonna shine
Yeah, I just shine
'Till I don't shine no more
Woah, we just shine
Me and you just shine
Come on, let's shine
'Till you don't shine no more
