John Smith - Before I Go Lyrics

I've been thinkin' a lot lately
About how much time I have left
There's a whole lot more behind me
Than how much lies ahead
I feel the need to make a list
To write it down so I will know
A few things that I'd like to do
In my life before I go

Before I go
I wanna walk the hills of Spain
See the birds in Costa Rica
The Northern Lights in northern Maine
I wanna spend more time
With the ones I love the most
These are a few things I'd like do
Before I go

Maybe I'll buy some watercolors
Learn to paint a country lane
One that rolls on down to some
Pastural peaceful place
And maybe I'll write a book
Tell my story, share my truth
Bare it all upon the page
That's something I might like to do

Before I go
I wanna walk the hills of Spain
See the birds in Costa Rica
The Northern Lights in northern Maine
I wanna spend more time
With the ones I love the most
These are a few things I'd like do
Before I go

Maybe there's a book up there someplace
With our names and the day we'll pass
But I don't think there is, so I wanna live
Each day like it's my last

I wanna go sailin' for a couple of weeks
Down in the islands with Vicki and Stan
Feel the sun on my face and the wind at my back
Walk with JoJo in the soft white sand
And when my traveling days are done
I wanna sit and watch the river flow
I wanna live with no regrets, with this time I've left
Here before I go
