On the seventh hour of the seventh day The seventh son was looking for a seventh stage get-away The word came down from a blinding light You got one chance, baby, baby, babe, you better do it right
I was driving down on the 101 It was late at night and I was thinking 'bout the things I'd done All of my regrets and, baby, all of my fears I was slipping the car from gear to gear to gear
Man, I really got going, I started picking up speed I hit 135 and I had everything I'd need Started shaking bad, fearing for my life I let go of the wheel and I flew into the night
God bless the child, God bless his soul But God perish the idea that he will die before he's old You gotta be cool, you gotta behave And there'll be time for that when I'm lying in my grave
You gotta watch your step, or you'll lose your way Take heed of your elders, do everything they say Yeah, I gotta watch out for the man who tolls the bells But if I fear for the devil and I fear for myself Lord, I'm gonna have to fear for everybody else
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fly I'm gonna live until the day I die Ain't got time to wonder why I'm gonna live until the day I die
One more heaven, I'm gonna try I'm gonna live 'til the day I die Gonna make my way up to the sky 'Cause I'm gonna live until the day I die
