Shut Up And Get On The Plane Lyrics - Southern Rock Opera - Drive By Truckers

Well your wishes and your feelings 

Your bad dreams and intuitions 

Are about as much good to me right now as a brand new set of golf clubs 

We've been this close to death before, we were just too drunk to know it 

Guess the price of being sobers being scared out of your mind 

[Chorus] 

When it comes your time to go, ain't no good way to go about it 

Ain't no use in thinking bout it 

You'll just drive yourself insane 

There comes a time for everything 

And the time has come for you to shut your mouth and get your ass on the plane 

Ain't nothing I'd rather do right now than just go on home and lay around 

But that ain't never an option for a working man like me 

How much is enough you ask 

I'll ask the man when I get a chance 

All I know right now, there's somewhere else I'm suppose to be 

[Chorus] 

Screaming engines, shooting flames 

Dirty needles and cheap cocaine 

Some gal's old man with a gun 

To me it's all the same 

Dead is dead and it ain't no different than walking around if you ain't living 

Living in fear's just another way of dying before your time 

[Chorus]
