verse 1
Well I?m in such a terrible state
And my country?s just like me
Well I can?t afford to live in this place
And I can?t afford to leave
But my friends all say that it?s a shame
And they just can?t understand why
Oh, but if I don?t make it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
verse 2
Well, I?ve been travelin' around the world
And there?s nowhere I ain't been
And everywhere goes by so fast
And I don?t know what I've seen
And they push me 'round on a wild goose chase
By land or sea or sky
Oh, but if I don?t make it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
No, if I don?t make it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
Bridge
Give me a bottle of wine
I don?t wanna drink
Get me out of my mind
I don?t wanna think
verse 3
When I close my weary eyes
I think that it?s the end
But it?s only then that I realize
That I?m my own best friend
There?s another day and another chance
To put sixpence in the pie
Oh, and if I don?t find it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
No, if I don?t find it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
No, if I don?t fins it before I die, then I
Just ain?t gonna die
