nights are slim, get my hands on a new fortune
maybe one to take away the pain
days are gone, they were never here for long
the drift of rivers stronger with the rain

and im not one to waste, waste my life away
faced with my last day

the sun will set, west oe east lets make a bet
but you dont understand what i say (ive seen everything, everything)
evening is all of it but beginning
the time it takes to throw it all away

and im not one to waste, waste my life away
faced with my last day

kick sand in my eyes i am left in the dust
kick sand in my eyes i am left in the dust and theres nothing i can do

and im not one to waste, waste my life away
faced with my last day
