Lyrics
I got one hand on the bottle, and one foot in the grave
I am engaging in risky behavior, with one hand on a bottle and one foot in the grave.
It's been too long since I stepped, but I, I, I ain't got time to waste
It has been a while since I took a step, but I don't have time to waste.
Three long days, boy you'd better break
After three long days, there's a need for a change or action.
When that light shines on you
When a positive moment or opportunity presents itself, you should seize it.
Gonna want to stay forever and a day, but it's the night I belong to
Despite tempting moments, I feel a connection to the night more than the day.
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running out
Time is passing, and there's a sense of urgency.
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running, running, running, running
Emphasizing the relentless passage of time and the urgency it brings.
So, I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Expressing a determination to live life to the fullest.
'Cause when the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
Life is finite, and there's a reference to potential consequences beyond.
Said I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Reiterating the commitment to live life fully, treating each moment as the last.
I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Affirming the intention to live life as if it's the final night.
Well I'm five seconds closer to living six feet deep
Mentioning the proximity to potential danger or death.
There's seven steps to heaven, but that stairway is just to steep
Highlighting the difficulty of reaching a positive outcome or salvation.
Oh, my my everybody dies, but you know that I don't want to
Accepting the inevitability of death but expressing a desire to postpone it.
You get eight long lives, boy you gonna cry when the ninth one creeps up on you
Acknowledging the limited number of chances in life and the emotional impact of missed opportunities.
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running out
Reiterating the ticking of the clock and the diminishing time.
Well the clock keeps ticking, and your time is running, running, running, running
Emphasizing the urgency and fleeting nature of time.
So, I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Reaffirming the commitment to live life fully, especially in the face of impending challenges.
When the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
Referring again to potential consequences when the clock strikes twelve.
Said I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Restating the determination to live life to the fullest extent.
I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
A repetition of the commitment to live life as if it's the final night.
But the clock keeps ticking
Reiterating the passage of time and its relentless nature.
Don't pretend that you're ready to go
Advising against pretending to be ready for something.
Well it's ticking down, and slow
Highlighting the slow and inevitable progression of time.
I know I'll ever die, is gon' hold me
Expressing a belief that nothing, not even death, can stop the person.
'Cause I'm running, running, running, running
Emphasizing the continuous and determined effort, running despite challenges.
So, I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Reaffirming the commitment to live life fully, treating each moment as the last.
When the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
Referring again to potential consequences when the clock strikes twelve.
So I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
Restating the determination to live life to the fullest extent.
'Cause when the clock strikes twelve, we're all gonna go to hell
Reiterating the potential consequences when the clock strikes twelve.
Said I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
A repetition of the commitment to live life as if it's the final night.
I'm gonna live my life like it's my last damn night
A final repetition of the commitment to live life as if it's the last night.
