Intro 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
