before my time is up
Before the gods read my lifelong sentence Before I get my share, before I walk alone Before they take away my last temptation Before my heart's deprived, before they call my name  On the back fences of my dream line I never lost my mind, I gave it all I had To get away with the whole damn big bang For the right reasons, for what you can't take back  Until the drums stop beating Until the crossroads burn out I ain't a man until I've done it all  Before my time is up, I'll hang my name On every trial I'm due for And even if I can't get justice I'll take you down to hell  Before my time is up, I'll leave no stone unturned I won't regret my actions And even if my last words fail me I'll be a better man before my time is up  I believe that the road goes somewhere Beyond the empty eyes, beyond the wasted land When it all fades away to nothing I wanna know I tried to take a real hard stand  I gotta laugh at the whole damn big bang I've got to cry sometimes, got to love somebody Before they read my lifelong sentence Before I get my share, before I go alone  Until the drums stop beating To where the crossroads burn out I ain't a man until I've done it all  Before my time is up, I'll hang my name On every trial I'm due for And even if I can't get justice I'll take you down to hell  Before my time is up, I'll leave no stone unturned I won't regret my actions Even if my last words fail me I'll be a better man before my time is Time is Time is up  Even if my last words fail me I'll be a better man Before my time is  Before, before my time is up
