about

Written June 1997/ October 1999

lyrics

In my life I've only seen my great-grandmother die
And the way folks just keep livin' on nowadays, I'm not a bit surprised
And though I know everybody's got to go at another time or some
I've made up my mind that I'm never gonna die

I'm not gonna die; I'm forever, I'm alive
Straight immune to every funeral tune, I ain't hip to all that jive
No bullet wound, no natural cause will cause me to subside
I'll never be a victim of death, because I'm never gonna die
I'm gonna stare down the barrel of the bucket, baby, but I ain't never gonna kick it
Watch the world raise hell until kingdom come, and present my admission ticket
Other tongues otherwise create their own demise
But I'm gonna look 'em in the face and cry, "I'm never gonna die"
I'm not gonna die; I won't give up the ghost
Just because a world of mortal souls insists that I'm supposed to
As for life's only certainty, I'm only too happy to deny
I walk in the direction that I point my eyes, and I'm never gonna die
Sweet adeline, it's time it's time I got gwine where I's gwine
Dig a hole to put the devil in and watch the sun set
While you sit out in the rain with your feets all soakin' wet
Make no mistake, I aim like Moses, I s'poses, or Rasputin
Or anybody else who put up a fight
I ain't gonna satisfy that other state of mind
I ain't never gonna die
Growin' old, you start to slow and say you just can't stay with it
But watch me now, while I cheat death and get away with it
There's another sucker born every second, doll, but I'll outlive 'em all
I hate to prophesy, but I'm never gonna die
I'm not gonna die; my sweet eternity is now
And righteous immortality, you've got my solemn vow
I am invincible, unconvinceable that my time is drawin' nigh
Here me say: I'm never gonna die
