lyrics

There’s a dead frog in the road
How it got there I don’t know
But at a guess I’d say it was crossing to the other side
Aint it funny how things can twist?
With all the warnings that you have missed
Along the course of passing through this old life

If this world should end today
Could you look me in the eye and say
That you made a change around here for all to see?
‘Cause at the moment it feels like this
I’ll never make it on that list
And this old life will be the death of me

This old life
It’ll pass you the rough edge of the knife
Bind you up and leave you tied
It will rob a poor man blind
Steal the pennies from your eyes while you’re asleep
But that’s alright, that’s alright
Don’tcha tell me otherwise
‘Cause this old life will be the death of me

You may block the way I choose
Tie together both my shoes
Still I’ll get to where I’m going eventually
But in my dreams there is more
Than it seems is here in store
And this old life will be the death of me

This old life
It’ll pass you the rough edge of the knife
Bind you up and leave you tied
It will rob a poor man blind
Steal the pennies from your eyes while you’re asleep
But that’s alright, that’s alright
Don’tcha tell me otherwise
‘Cause this old life will be
It’s just a drop in the sea
This old life will be the death of me
