I'm standing on top The ninety first story Watching my life pa** me by It's hard to see the world in its glory With tears that are burning my eyes You tried to give reasons One thousand good reasons One thousand good reasons I should try But why So tell my old lady I'll be seeing her soon And all of my good friends goodbye As far as I remember It was uphill and climbing No rest for weary feet I've worked all my lifetime With sawdust and timber To widdle her majestys seat The one thing I loved I loved my sweetheart And then she had to go on and die So tell my old lady I'll be seeing her soon and all of my good friends goodbye I know that it's selfish I'm sure you all will move on I've heard that old radio playing I know it's my song So if I've lived for something And if I've lived true Let him not cast me below We all have our reasons for pushing on through My reasons had somewhere to go I'm weightless suspended My back feels the rushing My eyes on the twelve o'clock sky So tell my old lady I'll be seeing her soon and all of my good friends goodbye
