She said I wanna walk my granddaughter down the aisle
She said I wanna see my great grandson's first smile
She said I wanna take a flight to see Paris and Rome
She said I wanna see my deployed grandson come home
Time's running out
And she's been trying
To slow down these hands
That are quickly ticking by
She said I ain't got no time for dying
She said I wanna feel the butterflies from a first date
She said I haven't felt that feeling since he rests in his grave
It's been many long years life's been passing her by
And she's not afraid of death because she feels so alive
But time's running out
And she's been trying
To slow down these hands
That are quickly ticking by
She said I ain't got no time for dying
She said I wanna take a walk down a western coast
She said I wanna feel the sand in between my toes
And she'll watch the hours pass, but she won't stand still
Cause when she looks into her past she finds the strength and will
But time's running out
And she's been trying
To slow down these hands
That are quickly ticking by
She said I ain't got no time for dying
She said I ain't got no time for dying
She said I ain't got no time for dying
Oh no Oh no She ain't got no time
She lives out her life like it'll never end
It's not how long she lives
It's about time she has to spend
Time's running out
And she's been trying
To slow down these hands
That are quickly ticking by
She said I ain't got no time for dying
I ain't got no time for dying
I ain't got no time for dying
She said there are a lot of things I've got left to try
So I'm gonna hold on and decide when it's my time
