lyrics

Well I got this old guitar and
I am changin' all it's strings.
Growing out my hair and
I'm selling everything.
It won't be long
'Til I'm back out on the road.
It won't be long.
Get your fill of me tonight girl,
Because tomorrow I'll be gone.

I got this burning in my soul
I got this aching in my heart.
I got a road I got to travel down
And its high time that I start.
It won't be long
'Til you won't see me anymore.
It won't be long.
That's why I told you when I met you
That I couldn't stick around for very long.

Everybody everybody knows
You got to live before you die and
Make the most of everything before you go.
Everybody everybody knows
Everybody listen up now
It won't be long.

To you who diagnose diseases
But don't offer any cures,
And to you who laugh at honor
And are shocked to find traitors
It won't be long
'Til it all comes back to you.
It won't be long.
Laugh it up now while you can boys
Judgment day is gonna come.

And to you beaten and betrayed
You lonely brokenhearted masses
He that loves this life will lose it
And the first will be last.
It won't be long
'Til these promises come true.
It won't be long.
Stop living like a slave, you've been set free
Now pick up your mat and walk.
