I saw a tattoo of a coffin Said "we all get in" I used to think of it less often But the older I get I hear the gospel in a graveyard As I bury a friend On such an ordinary basis I am figuring it all out Let me tell you what it's all about I used to sing the songs about it back when I was bold I'd ask my daddy what they meant; he'd say "we all grow old" I guess it helped me come to terms For twenty years or so But now we're all getting older, and some of us are gone Got no time to lose But I got time to give Guess we're all gonna die So we might as well live I'll carry you to the grave But I won't get in! I've fallen victim to nostalgia Even I know it I miss the things that I did not Appreciate as a kid I think the grass was really greener then The sky was more blue The polar bears still had a chance And all of my dreams came true Do you remember that too? Got no time to lose But I got time to give Guess we're all gonna die So we might as well live I'll carry you to the grave But I won't get in! Got no time to lose But I got time to give Guess we're all gonna die So we might as well live I'll carry you to the grave But I I won't get in
