Drive-by Truckers - Shut Up And Get On The Plane lyrics

SHUT UP AND GET ON THE PLANE

(Cooley / Hood)

Well your wishes and your feelings

Your bad dreams and intuitions

Are about as much good to me right now as a brand new set of golf clubs

We've been this close to death before, we were just too drunk to know it

Guess the price of being sobers being scared out of your mind

(chorus)

When it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it

Ain't no use in thinking bout it

You'll just drive yourself insane

There comes a time for everything

And the time has come for you to shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane

Ain't nothing I'd rather do right now than just go on home and lay around

But that ain't never an option for a working man like me

How much is enough you ask

I'll ask the man when I get a chance

All I know right now, there's somewhere else I'm suppose to be

(repeat chorus)

Screaming engines, shooting flames

Dirty needles and cheap cocaine

Some gal's old man with a gun

To me it's all the same

Dead is dead and it ain't no different than walking around if you ain't living

Living in fear's just another way of dying before your time

(repeat chorus)
