She's a flower among the weeds More beautiful than any rose I put the creases in her shoes She put the crinkle in my nose I'll have wrinkles when I'm young From all the laughing, I suppose And I'll hold your heart forever Long after I propose, oh-oh Hold her while you can 'Cause someday you won't get the chance (ooh-ooh) Cherish every moment And all the time you spend (ooh-ooh) 'Cause this life will all be over My love for you won't end So, I'll hold her while I can 'Til the one day that I get the chance again She's a doll at 83 Acting like we both just met Reminding me of times that I swore I'd not forget Now I'm 85 years old (ooh-ooh) Alone lying on this bed (ooh-ooh) Missing the sound of her voice And the three words that she once said Hold her while you can 'Cause someday you won't get the chance (ooh-ooh) Cherish every moment And all the time you spend (ooh-ooh) 'Cause this life will all be over My love for you won't end So, I'll hold her while I can 'Til the one day that I get the chance again Hold her while you can 'Cause someday you won't get the chance Cherish every moment And all the time you spend 'Cause this life will all be over My love for you won't end So, I'll hold her while I can 'Til the one day that I get the chance again

I've been looking all night watching them empty hours Invisible to this crowd, always double vision I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said Get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the night slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh As I'm sweeping up glass, I see the exit lights so green There's people falling into the streets Something comes together I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me down I know this chance won't hang around, so I'm gone forever And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said So get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the night slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can ooh ooh Packing up my suitcase, racing down forgotten streets Making my tracks along the cracks in the concrete Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet If you find me, you will find me on the run For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cars I've seen the greener grass, I've seen the faster cars And I don't need your happy hours I don't need your lonely bars I'm ejecting like a bullet from a gun So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand Standing on the staircase, come and chase the master plan Long way to get away, play it like a grand slam This is no encore, we have only just begun So get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the night slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can Ooh (get out, get out) Ooh (get out, get out) Ooh (get out, get out) Ooh (get out, get out) Ooh (get out, get out) Ooh (get out, get out)

I heard you been creeping 'round 'Bout the time that sun goes down You been talking in your sleep And it's been going on for weeks And I been solving puzzle pieces High time to come to Jesus You got skeletons in your closet It's written all over your face Every little lie stacked so high Can't keep your story straight I don't know How they got there, it's getting under my skin Got skeletons in your closet And I got bones to pick with them, oh I was born in the morning But I wasn't born yesterday Deep into your inventory's Gonna send me to an early grave You got skeletons in your closet It's written all over your face Every little lie stacked so high Can't keep your story straight I don't know How they got there, it's getting under my skin Got skeletons in your closet And I got bones to pick with them Yeah, you got skeletons in your closet It's written all over your face Every little lie stacked so high Can't keep your story straight I don't know How they got there, it's getting under my skin Got skeletons in your closet And I got bones to pick with Bones to pick with Bones to pick with them, hey

My skin ain't thin but when I come unhinged I'm a little bit more than crazy Work like a dog but the way I talk Is a little laid back and lazy I'm not a man of many words But my words are as good as gold And you can bet your ass I'll have your back When the rubber meets the road Write that on my headstone Write that on my headstone Off the rails, off the walls Never was the one to back down Gave it hell and I had a ball Like tomorrow was never coming back 'round Live to love and love to live Like the lights are never coming back on Day and night, night and day I did it my way, right or wrong It's a wonder that I made it this long Write that on my headstone Write that on my headstone Yeah, when I'm dead and gone Write that on my headstone Here lies a man who gave a damn Wasn't scared to stand for something Lived it hard and fast in that dash carved between those numbers And if you're reading this You can reminisce but don't cry for me brother Pour enough whiskey on this grave To make it all the way down six feet under Write that on my headstone Write that on my headstone Yeah, when I'm dead and gone Write that on my headstone Yeah Yeah, write that on my headstone Headstone Headstone
