He's done a lotta livin' This old man in front of me He's told me lots of stories About his life, living free He told me 'bout his hopes He told me of his dreams And now his time has come He's falling apart at the seams And he said "I've seen the sun on the horizon I've seen the moon is riding high So dig your boots in and start riding Catch the moon before the end is nigh" He's done a lotta livin'
He's felt a lot of pain How do I tell his children He won't be back again And he said "Tell 'em no one lives forever Life just don't last that long So live your life to it's fullest And you just can't go wrong I've seen the sun on the horizon I've seen the moon is riding high So dig your boots in and start riding Catch the moon before the end is nigh"
