Am G C
Time flies by like a shot from a gun
Am G C
Makin hay with the devil in the new days sun
Am G C
Striking at the iron while the iron is hot
Am G Am
I’ll pay my dues for the life I got
Livin for the minute and livin for the day
In my own town in my own way
Headin nowhere just as fast as I can
Yeah I’m ridin on dunes leavin tracks in the sand
Am C Am
I say that’s how you die a lonely man
