about

Recorded with the Nose Creek Band

lyrics

Could be a disease or a gun to the head
One thing’s for sure, you’re gonna be dead
A knife in the back or an allergic reaction
Fall down the stairs, expire in traction

What are you waiting for?
When it’s over there ain’t nothin’ more
You’re not coming back again
When it’s over you’re done my friend

So go climb a mountain
And kiss a few frogs
Run through a fountain
And fall off a log
Drive down the highway
Without any plan
Spend the day fishin’
Just ‘cause you can

What are you waiting for?
When it’s over there ain’t nothin’ more
You’re not coming back again
When it’s over you’re done my friend

Fall in the ocean
And watch your boat sink
Crawl through the desert
With nothin’ to drink
Choke on a cheese dog
Slip on the floor
Fall off a mountain
Get shot in a war
Drivin’ while drinking
You get hit by a train
You work without thinking
Something pops in your brain’
Your heart might just stop

What are you waiting for?
When it’s over there ain’t nothin’ more
You’re not coming back again
When it’s over you’re done my friend

What are you waiting for?
When it’s over there ain’t nothin’ more
You’re not coming back again
When it’s over you’re done my friend
