Lyrics
I don't have much but I've got time
A young lean body a rock hard spine
And I'm no copy I make my lines
And you can't stop me I've made my mind
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
That's what they tell me the old people
Cause they can't help me they think they know
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
You're always faking man you don't even try
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
The nights are heavy and I can't sleep
It's like a levy opens on me
And I am buried by ey every thought
And every memory of any loss
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
I know that's not me it's my small town
And everybody that put me down
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
Sometimes I hear it when I'm closing my eyes
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
I know there's something that won't get old
Worth more than platinum that can't be sold
So I'm not sorry if I seem cold
It's just that hunger that makes me bold
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
They think I'm lucky to hit my stride
They've given up see pay them no mind
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
I'm gonna take it from you prove that it's mine
You're not gonna make it, not gonna make it
If I have to I will take it
This life is a miracle
I couldn't say that just a year ago
And even though I haven't reached my prime
We all know it's just a matter of time
This life is a centerfold
A heavenly body and I'm holding the clothes
I was riding shotgun just a minute ago
I might even drive soon you never know
This life is a miracle
This life is a centerfold
This life is a miracle
This life is a centerfold
