My life is a long road That leads to my grave some day The unknown father Lit my light And has the right To blow it out
So let me enjoy life And drive my road Down very slow Well you can chase and run Your road down fast But I'm gonna take my time And drive my car along that road Smoke my pipes and rest myself and wet my throat 'Cause the time is gonna come
Drive your bloody car Across my road I will drive my lorry madly To lose my load I have carried all down That painful, bloody road Hope the load will hit you Hard on your head
Yes, the carcrash comes and I'll be dead
The flame of life could die tomorrow So why should I strain myself For those kind of people Who just know their own name Nothing else
Please let me enjoy life And drive my road Down very slow Well you can chase and run Your road down fast But I'm gonna take my time And drive my car along that road Smoke my pipes and rest myself And wet my throat 'Cause the time is gonna come
Drive your bloody car Across my road I will drive my lorry madly To lose my load I have carried all down That painful, bloody road Hope the load will hit you Hard on your head
