Lyrics
I can?t change the fact that I?m, past my prime
And it looks like I?m runnin?, out of time
I may battered and bruised, but I?ll still go down swingin?
No retirement plans with my dubious wealth
And I just can?t reverse my declining health
I may battered and bruised, but I?ll still go down swingin?
So don?t close the book ?cause the story ain?t done
I?m workin? on things that have just begun
It?s way too early for an epitaph
Don?t write it now cause it just won?t last
I may be bent but I ain?t broke yet
I?ll keep on a rollin? with no regrets
Time won?t stop for me or you
So I can?t quit now I got too much to do
I?m no longer young but, not that old
Though it?s for sure my better days have been, bought and sold
I may battered and bruised, but I?ll still go down swingin?
Now the sun is sinkin? down, into the West
But it?s way too soon for, me to rest
I may battered and bruised, but I?ll still go down swingin?
