Lyrics
Done With My Life
Well I wish I start all over again
I wish I could go back to seed
But if wishes were horses
Then beggars would ride
And I'd be the one in the lead
I've got more than wanted
More than I deserve
More blessings than ought to be mine
How will I count every one
When I'm done with my life
Well, the time keeps on ticking
I marvel at all the changes I've seen with these eyes
And though I keep learning every day
I don't think I'll ever be wise
I live and I learn and I crash and I burn
I bump into things in the night
I pick myself up and go on
Til I'm done with my life
Give me the beat boys and play me that song
I haven't got time to change yesterday's sorrows
Life is a wheel and I'll make it go round
Give it a spin I had such a good time
Well I wish I could start all over again
But I know that it's just a dream
Just like I know everything that I am
Is pretty much vapor and steam
When I fly with the angels I'll send you good dreams
And if I get you smiling sometime
I think it's the least I can do
When I'm done with my life
