Lyrics:
V1
I pushed hard
‘Cause it was the only way I knew
To get where I was going
Maybe I was a fool
V2
Maybe I should have slowed down
And set for a spell
To stop and smell the roses
But best as I can tel I had to work hard
To get where I was going
Chorus
I ain’t ready to go
I ain’t exactly finished yet
Don’t come claiming my soul
I don’t want them to forget
I was here for a lifetime
And though my race is run, I ain’t done
How much you willing to bet
No, I ain’t exactly finished yet
V3
Maybe give me a minute
To say my last goodbyes, finish my last round
So I can be ready
’fore they put me in the ground
Chorus
I ain’t ready to go
I ain’t exactly finished yet
Don’t come claiming my soul
I don’t want them to forget
I was here for a lifetime
And though my race is run, I ain’t done
How much you willing to bet
No, I ain’t exactly finished yet
Outro
I guess I can be thankful
I got to live this life
So if my time is over
Lord knows I tried
