Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She said, I wanna walk my granddaughter down the aisle
She said, I wanna see my great-grandson's first smile
She said, I wanna take a flight to see Paris and Rome
She said, I wanna see my deployed grandson come home
Well, time's running out, and she's been trying
To slow down these hills that are quickly ticking by
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
She said, I wanna feel the butterflies from her first date
She said, I haven't felt that feeling since he rests in his grave
It's been many long years, life's been passing her by
And she's not afraid of death because she feels so alive
Well, time's running out, and she's been trying
To slow down these hills that are quickly ticking by
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
She said, I want to take a walk down the western coast
She said, I want to feel the sand in between my toes
And she'll watch the hours pass, but she won't stand still
Cause when she looks into her past, she finds her strength and will
The time's running out, and she's been trying
To slow down these hands that are quickly ticking by
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
Oh no, oh no, she ain't got no time
She lives out her life like it'll never end
It's not how long she lives, it's about the time she has to spend
Time's running out, and she's been trying
To slow down these hands that are quickly ticking by
She said, I ain't got no time for dying
I ain't got no time for dying
I ain't got no time for dying
She said, there are a lot of things I've got left to try
So I'm gonna hold on and decide when it's my time
So I'm gonna hold on and decide when it's my time
