Verse 1:
That dumb old bull sure kicked my head in good
I probably woulda kicked him back if I only could
Oh Jimmy wrap me up please, I feel a little cold
Looks like I âm never gonna get old
Verse 2:
The world looked so rosy when I woke up this morn
Now I âm lyin â here all battered and torn
Oh Jimmy you âre a church man, might be the time to pray
Everything around me is gettin â kinda grey
Chorus 1:
So Saint Peter wonâ t you lift me up
I âm lyin â here thinkinâ that itâ s time enough,
Saint Christopher wonâ t you carry me
Down country roads to eternity
Verse 3:
Childhood memories it seems I now recall
Ridin â out with Uncle John, feelinâ ten foot tall
Oh Jimmy canâ t you hear them angels calling me away
And I âm glad that youâ re with me on my final day
Verse 4:
I am twenty-four years old, I rode ten thousand square
I never lost a single steer on that Iâ d surely swear
Oh Jimmy don ât you worry, Iâ m not feelinâ any pain
Those drops of water fallinâ must mean it âs gonna rain
Chorus 2:
So Saint Peter wonâ t you lift me up
I âm lyinâ here thinkin â that itâ s time enough,
Saint Christopher won ât you carry me
Down country roads to eternity
