Lyrics Five Minutes to Live - Johnny Cash

What all can you give
With five minutes to live?
Hear the tock tick tock
Of the laughing clock
What can you do or say?
Maybe you oughta pray
But you better think positive
You got five minutes to live

Time is flying by
Now don't you sit there and let it fly
You better come on strong
You can't stay here long
That bell is gonna ring
This is a final fling
Ain't no alternative
You got five minutes to live

What all can you give
With five minutes to live
Get dressed for your date
Or you're gonna be late
Live a little while you can
Don't you sit there and ring your hands
Here comes a great big sedative
You got five minutes to live
