I'm so tired tired of living
In a world that's gone insane
It's a world so unforgiving

Full of hate and full of pain
One of these days i'm gonna leave here
In the twinkling of an eye

Holding my woman and a cold beer
When it's time to say goodbye
I'm not seeking worldly riches

Got my mind on pearly things
One fine day i'll fly to heaven
Until then just waitin' on wings

Life was good when i was younger
Songs were easier to sing
My guitar's been torn asunder

With these blues and busted strings
One of these days i'm gonna leave here
In the twinkling of an eye

Holding my woman and a cold beer
When it's time to say goodbye
I'm not seeking worldly riches

Got my mind on pearly things
One fine day i'll fly to heaven
Until then just waitin' on wings

Brothers sisters are you ready
We could be leavin' here tonight
Hope the sky is blue and the wind is steady

As we take the final flight
One of these days i'm gonna leave here
In the twinkling of an eye

Holding my woman and a cold beer
When it's time to say goodbye
I'm not seeking worldly riches

Got my mind on pearly things
One fine day i'll fly to heaven
Until then just waitin' on wings
