Lyrics
He had everything he wanted, all his stars were lining up
Like an inside straight when you go all in on a Vegas run
Then one rainy night while driving his Mercedes up that ladder
He lost control of what he thought he had, and his life was done
The preacher man said here lies the richest man in town
Maybe in heaven he’ll finally find the happiness he never found
Man it hit me like a bolt of lightning
Living was just passing right by me
Time to slow down, take a look around
Tomorrow can’t replace what I’ve got right now
I’ve been running along at the speed of crazy
Blowing right past the gifts God gave me
Nobody gets to go around this world twice
Please don’t let me live an Unfinished Life
I sat on an old park bench, man I kicked off my shoes
Felt the grass between my toes, first time since I don’t know when
Thought about the days I’ve wasted, all the things I’ve left unsaid
How that big brass ring I’ve been chasing, ain’t gonna matter in the end
Just about then a kid walked up, said Miss, have you got the time
Smiled as I took that watch of my wrist, said girl you can have mine
Man it hit me like a bolt of lightning
living was just passing right by me
Time to slow down, take a look around
tomorrow can’t replace what I’ve got right now
I’ve been running around at the speed of crazy
blowing right past the gifts God gave me
nobody gets to go around this world twice
Lord please don’t let me live an unfinished life
I’ve been running along at the speed of crazy
Blowing right past the gifts God gave me
Nobody gets to go around this world twice
Lord please don’t let me live
No please don’t let me live
Lord please don’t let me live
An unfinished life
