I never know
what's on your mind
You are the great mystery of my life
We'll be getting on
till it's only a matter of time
Not gonna waste, I'm getting old
I'm gonna take the long
and winding road
To go see what I wan na see,
it's only a matter of time
Ain't gonna lay my
head in your sleep
Cause I don't care when I die
You can dig that hole for
your rusted soul
But don't go digging mine
No time to pray for peace of mind
You're gonna be dead for a long,
long time
Get up off your knees,
life's only a matter of time
And come lay my head in your sleep
Cause I don't care when I die
You can preach your word
from your own letter
But don't go bridge on mine
I found a song, before it goes
Ain't gonna sit around
here on dead row
Fatal habit, oh,
soon it's only matter of time
Think I'll lay my head in your sleep
And I don't care when I die
You can waste time on
any fool you want
But don't go wasting mine
Won't fade away when I get old
I'll be there finger -pickin'
my banjo
Swingin' on my porch,
see it's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time
It's only a matter of time you
