If I should ever grow old
Don't wanna regret any story left untold
Won't leave any song unsung
Any string undone
Performance not given
If I should grow old
If I should grow old
Wanna know I was livin'
If I am a star burning in the night
Gotta be alight while I can still shine
Before I'm outta sight
If I should ever get sick
Voice getting weak, fingers not quick
Well I don't wanna look back
See that I could've picked up the slack
On the time I was given
If I should get sick
If I should get sick
Wanna know I was livin'
If I am a star burning in the night
Gotta be alight while I can still shine
Before I'm outta sight
When I'm at the end of my days
Guitar cases closed, breath fading away
I'll know I used 'em up good
The way an artist and story-teller should
When I get to the end
When I get to the end
You're gonna know I was livin'
