The clock on the mantle is starin' at me it hasn't frame now for more than a week

The radio on the table yeah it's broken too

It just sits and listens while I sing the blues

I guess I could fix all these things if I just had the time

So don't say I'm lucky to be living cause if this is living I wonder how it feels to die



The woman I loved is gone gone gone gone

And she took the music to life's sweet happy song

Now a heart just can't sing when its melody is gone

Don't say I'm lucky to be living if this is living I wonder how it feels to die



Now there's the lawn that needs a mowin' and as weeds in the flowed-bed

A mouse just ran across my table and he's almost starved to death

Well I reckon I could take care of all these things

Oh Lord if I just had the time

Don't say I'm lucky to be living for if this is living I wonder how it feels to die

(For if this is living) I wonder how it feels to die
