Unfinished Life Lyrics - Feels Like Freedom - Jimmie Van Zant

He had everything he wanted 

All his stars were lining up 

Like an inside straight 

When you go all in on a Vegas run 

Then one rainy night 

While driving his Mercedes up that ladder 

He lost control of what he thought he had 

And his life was done 

The preacher man said 

Here lies the richest man in town 

Maybe in heaven 

He'll finally find happiness he never found 

Man, it hit me like a bolt of lighting 

Living was just passing right by me 

Time to slow down, take a look around 

Tomorrow can't replace what I've got right now 

Running along at the speed of crazy 

Blowing right past the gifts God gave me 

Nobody gets to go around this world twice 

Lord, don't let me live an unfinished life 

Sat on an old park bench 

Man, I kicked off my shoes 

Felt the grass between my toes 

First time since I don't know when 

Thought about the days I wasted 

All the things I left unsaid 

How that big brass ring I'd been chasin' 

Ain't gonna matter in the end 

Just about then a kid walked up 

Said Mister have you got the time? 

Smiled as I took that watch off my wrist 

Said, "Son, you can have mine" 

Man, it hit me like a bolt of lighting 

Living was just passing right by me 

Time to slow down, take a look around 

Tomorrow can't replace what I've got right now 

Running along at the speed of crazy 

Blowing right past the gifts God gave me 

Nobody gets to go around this world twice 

Lord, don't let me live an unfinished life
