Last Minute 49'erAlmost old enough to know better Much too old to rock and roll I'm wiping the sand off my fingers And looking for something to hold The days fly by like a flock of birds Big and dark and moving fast I'm here with my feet glued to the ground Watching my life as it goes by Chorus: I've been mining for gold Looking for a reason to the rhyme Tomorrow will come in time Tonight I'm a miner A last minute forty-niner Little whiles turn into a lifetime Soon you're bound by your sorrows I always thought I had forever Now I've run out of tomorrows Chorus: I've been mining for gold Looking for a reason to the rhyme Tomorrow will come in time Tonight I'm a miner A last minute forty-niner Chances not taken are chances lost More near misses and close calls In the end you are who you have loved And I feel like nothing at all Bridge: When it's all said and done It comes down to this I need a half angel half alchemist Who can turn pain into pleasure Empty years into blessings And fool's gold into treasure Chorus: I've been mining for gold Looking for a reason to the rhyme Tomorrow will come in time Tonight I'm a miner A last minute forty-niner Copyright Kent Newsome and Chuck Brown All Rights Reserved |
