Eyes Wide Open

Well if a Mack truck hit me I could safely say

I have had a good life, I have had my way

If I find myself standing at the pearly gate

Won't be a moment too soon, not a moment too late

When it's my turn to go, there's one thing I'm hopin'

I'd like to make the journey with my eyes wide open

As long as I can sing and play some twangy tune

I know rigor mortis won't set in too soon

I like to smell the roses and I'll tell you why

I'd like to keep on living till the day I die

When it's my turn to go, there's one thing I'm hopin'

I'd like to make the journey with my eyes wide open

Whether it's good or bad, whether it's black or white

Whether it's happy or sad, whether it's day or night

No matter what awaits me, no matter what I find

I just don't want to go there blind
