My Time Ain't Long

The fortune teller's eyes
They would not look at me
She said these cards don't lie, lie
And I said, "So what'd you see?"

She told me what I did
Her voice was cold and odd
She said, "Go hug your kids
And check your faith in God"

"Because your time ain't long"
She said, "Your time ain't long
You ain't done no one wrong
You got a fine safe home
But boy, your time ain't long"

I walked out homeward bound
And I drove them cross-town blocks
I felt the sun fade down
And I passed a stone-faced clock

And I thought, "My time ain't long"
I thought, "My time ain't long
My drug and booze days gone
I rise and shine at dawn
How come my time ain't long?"

My wife just laughed at me
Kept on ironing clothes
What will and will not be
She said, "There's no one knows"

And if she's got ESP
Then how come she lives down there?
It just sounds like bull to me
She ain't no millionaire

Hey, who said your time ain't long?
Who said your time ain't long?
You keep your seatbelt on
Feel your heartbeat strong
Who says your time ain't long?

Who said your time ain't long?
Who said your time ain't long?
Your drug and booze days gone
You rise and shine at dawn
Who says your time ain't long?

You ain't done no one wrong
You got a fine safe home
Who says your time ain't long?
