Ever Ready

You're never ever ready

Feel I'm holding steady

You know I'm not ready to die

I'm loving every minute

Know that I'm not finished

No, I'm not ready to die

Keeping my eyes open, while the children are still growing

No, I'm not ready to die

All the things that I could leave behind

I hope were the right ones

To keep me on your mind

I'll always be your father

A mid-aged rock and roller

No, I'm not ready to die

Tried inside the limits

While the world tried to push it

No, I'm not ready to die

I've been trying to stay present

In my little slice of heaven

No, I'm not ready to die

All the things that I could leave behind

I hope were the right ones

To keep me on your mind

All the things I could've said

I hope were the right one's

To cherish in your head

You're never ever ready

Feel I'm holding steady

No I'm not ready to die
