Lyrics and band info

I’ll Get Old And Die

I’ll get old and die one day
I’ll get old and die
You’ll see me on my cloud waving
Bye, bye, bye
At the time I take my leavin’
Then I guess I’ll just quit breathin’
I don’t need a damn good reason
I’ll get old and die

I won’t live forever
and I won’t go fast
But you cannot kill me
Cause I was made to last
I’ll shrivel up just like a raisin
As I slowly keep on agin’
It will all be quite amazin’
I’ll get old and die

BREAK

I won’t get the cancer
And I won’t get the clap
I won’t get hit by a bus
No, I won’t go like that
My fate will rest in Jesus’ hands
Departing for the promised land
Where there’s no Republicans
When I get old and die

I’ll get old and die one day
I’ll get old and die
You’ll see me on my cloud waving
Bye, bye, bye-bye
At the time I take my leavin’
Then I guess I’ll just quit breathin’
I don’t need a damn good reason
I’ll get old and die!
