Ninety Seven More to Go Songtext
von Ed Bruce

Ninety-nine years is a long long time to bust your
Back and the heart of mine
You sweat so much you can′t cry tears when you stop
To think about ninety-nine years
Ninety-nine years on a harder rock mine I work two years off of my time
Ninety-nine years go so slow when you still got ninety-seven more to go
Wrong kind woman got me in this mess wantin' pretty
Things and a satin red dress What I couldn′t make she said I have to take and judge
Said ninety-nine for just this sake
I take a rest when the guard turns his head
Hopin' he'll be nappin′ maybe shoot me dead
Those days drag by and the years go slow
But thank God I only got ninety-seven more to go
Ninety-nine years on a harder rock...
