Life Gets Up and Gets Gone Songtext
von Becky Buller

Should be 24 hours
On the clock up on my wall
Lately, it ain′t workin' out that way
Wish I had the power
To slow things to a crawl
There′s not enough me at the end of the day
Life gets up and gets gone
Racin' on and over me
Chokin' down its dust
While I must
Try to keep
Keepin′ on
Life gets up and gets gone
If I had a dollar
For ev′ry moment missed
I could buy my way beyond regret
But time's a rigid father
So wise he can′t be tricked
I ain't found my way around him yet
Life gets up and gets gone


Racin′ on and over me
Chokin' down its dust
While I must
Try to keep
Keepin′ on
Life gets up and gets gone
My plans bend with the weather
In a stormy dance
Leaves me breathless, spinnin' out of rhyme
The mirror is my measure
Lays plain my circumstance
In shiny silver threads and little lines
Life gets up and gets gone
Racin' on and over me
Chokin′ down its dust
While I must
Try to keep
Keepin′ on
Life gets up and gets gone
Life gets up and gets gone
Racin' on and over me
Chokin′ down its dust
While I must
Try to keep
Keepin' on
Life gets up and gets gone
