F          Em        D          F        Em         D
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twighlight zone
G
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
G
And it really hit home
F         Em         D                 F          Em  D
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
G                                             D
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend

After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run

Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well

After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run

After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
But I will waddle 'fore they make me run
But I will walk 'fore they make me run
I will walk 'fore they make me run
I will walk 'fore they make me run

After all is said and done
Gotta move, I had my fun
Let me walk before they make me run
I'm gonna walk before they make me run
