Don't Count Me Out

Time is slipping away

I can feel it rushing past

The minutes turn into days

And the days fly by so fast

All around me values change

I can't hear what's going on

Am I falling far behind?

Have I got this whole thing wrong?

But I've got no answers, got no clues

I can't understand the rules

I can't believe we're all fools

Questioned all that I've done

Try to hold my self-respect

Yet all the ground that I've won

Looks like slowly being wrecked

I see others falling down

I can't help myself but smile

How did one little change my world

Over such a short, short while?

But I'm no quitter, just get that straight

I've come too far, it's much too late

I'm right on line and I just won't wait

So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout

Well known as a slayer of that, have no doubt

I'm running on strong, you've got it all wrong

Ain't making no waves, I'm just cruising along

Don't think I've been beat, I won't give you that treat

You might think that I'm down, but I'm still on my feet

Don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout

Don't count me out

I feel things going my way

Oh, my time is almost here

It may not happen today

But I've waited all these years

Sometimes it's been so hard

Watching others pass me by

But I'm still here fighting strong

And I've made no compromise

'Cause I'm no quitter, just get that straight

I've come too far, it's much too late

I'm right on line and I just won't wait

So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout

Well known as a slayer of that, have no doubt

I'm running on strong, you've got it all wrong

Ain't making no waves, I'm just cruising along

Don't think I've been beat, I won't give you that treat

You might think that I'm down, but I'm still on my feet

Don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout

Well known as a slayer of that, have no doubt

I'm running on strong, you've got it all wrong

Ain't making no waves, I'm just cruising along

Don't think I've been beat, I won't give you that treat

You might think that I'm down, but I'm still on my feet

Don't count me out
