Time flies by like a shot from a gun
Makin hay with the devil in the new days sun
Striking at the iron while the iron is hot
I’ll pay my dues for the life I got

Livin for the minute and livin for the day
In my own town in my own way
Headin nowhere just as fast as I can
Yeah I’m ridin on dunes leavin tracks in the sand

I say that’s how you die a lonely man

Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay leavin my tracks in the sand
Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind
I say that’s how you die a lonely man

There’s a train to Chicago and a plane to L.A.
Yeah a meeting in Akron on all saints day
Well it got so late, I forgot to call in
Yeah, well daddy’s doin business at the bar again

I say that’s how you die a lonely man

Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay leavin my tracks in the sand
Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind
I say that’s how you die a lonely man
I say that’s how you die a lonely man

Kids are always asking, when daddy’s getting hooooome
Momma’s getting angry dinners cold upon the stove
She takes all the kids awaaay!!!
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man
I get the life of a lonely man

Die yi yi yippy yippy yippy yay goin real hard drivin at the wind
I say that’s how you die a lonely man
