Before I lay my head to rest
Gonna get on a train and head out west
Lose myself in the sand and the wine
'cause God don't go where the sun don't shine
Lose myself on the side of the road
Where the buzzards bleed and the rain don't go
Cause the world is made of many things
God don't slow on the angel wings
There's always someone waitin at the gates
Gonna roll away to heaven on a pair of roller skates
No more waitin for my time to pa**
Life's too short to make things last
Says, ain't you tired of bein so sad?
The bottle in your veins won't hurt so bad
You can run away with me to a sunny sky
We'll both be older when we die
Before I lay my head to rest
Gonna get on a train and head out west
Lose myself in the sand and the wine
'cause God don't go where the sun don't shine
