We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
Make right with the ones you've wronged before it's too late.
There might be no Maker, might be no pearly gate.
We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
Some say life is a trial, just the dark before the dawn.
I say leave only love, only LOVE behind you,
because this train keeps rolling on.
We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
Make right with the ones you love before it's too late.
You might be a martyr, Lord knows we make mistakes.
We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
When my days are numbered, moonlit nights now washed out black,
I will have only left bright markers for those who travel down the track.
We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
Make right with the ones you've wronged before it's too late.
There might be no Maker, might be no pearly gate.
We're all gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
You might be a martyr, Lord knows we make mistakes.
We're ALL gonna die someday so you'd better lay them tracks straight.
