Slide Into My Grave

[Verse 1]
Doctor said slow down, take it easy
Friends keep sayin' I should "rest"
They say “slow down, honey
Take your pills, take your time”
But I see that sun keep climbing
And I’m racing every mile it climbs
I’ve seen those white-walled rooms
Plastic flowers, flickering light
That ain’t how this girl is going
I’ll be gone before they say goodnight
[Chorus]
I won’t sit in a chair, lay in a bed
Hooked to a machine, being waited on ‘til I’m dead
I’ll keep going, won’t stop till I drop
Dust on my jeans, sweat on my neck, not a wrinkle left to save
If I got breath
I got plans
Put that white sheet
Back in the van
If I can move
Then I'm alive
Don't plan on watching
Life pass me by
I’m gonna slide into my grave
[Verse 2]
I want dirt under my fingernails
Coffee in a paper cup
Laugh lines cut a little deeper
From showing all the people up
I’ll take backroads over back pain
Bonfires over quiet halls
If I’m breathing, I’m still moving
If I’m falling, I’ll go laughing through it all
[Chorus]
I won’t sit in a chair, lay in a bed
Hooked to a machine, being waited on ‘til I’m dead
I’ll keep going, won’t stop till I drop
Dust on my jeans, sweat on my neck, not a wrinkle left to save
If I got breath
I got plans
Put that white sheet
Back in the van
If I can move
Then I'm alive
Don't plan on watching
Life pass me by
I’m gonna slide into my grave
[Bridge]
So pour one out when it’s over
Tell ‘em I never learned to behave
Heart wide open, tank on empty
Grinning as I ride that final wave
[Chorus]
I won’t sit in a chair, lay in a bed
Hooked to a machine, being waited on ‘til I’m dead
I’ll keep going, won’t stop till I drop
If I can move
Then I'm alive
Don't plan on watching
Life pass me by
I’m gonna slide into my grave
