Yes I'm North of 80 now And definitely living on the edge of time The first thing I do in the morning now 'Is to check my pulse to make sure I'm still alive My Dr keeps telling me that I can't do Things that I could do when I was 50 But I sure as hell I wont give up the life I love Wild camping, fishing and walking the forest trails But I know it will end as for all men it must When they turn my body into dust There's only one place I want to go That's into the furnaces fiery glow Then I can do one last good deed And give a rose bush a potash feed Yep I sure am living on the edge of time

Living On The Edge Of Time
Yes I'm North of 80 now And definitely living on the edge of time The first thing I do in the morning now 'Is to check my pulse to make sure I'm still alive My Dr keeps telling me that I can't do Things that I could do when I was 50 But I sure as hell I wont give up the life I love Wild camping, fishing and walking the forest trails But I know it will end as for all men it must When they turn my body into dust There's only one place I want to go That's into the furnaces fiery glow Then I can do one last good deed And give a rose bush a potash feed Yep I sure am living on the edge of time
