Closer to Dead

I wish I had a nickel. I wish I had a dime My poor papa, he said For all those wasted moments, and all that wasted time Now I'm closer to dead So many years have gone away, so many things I never did say So many times I should have cried So many times I should never have lied It don't matter now...that I'm closer to dead Every passing fancy you know keeps passing by Some things didn't, some did And everything and nothing at all I did and did not try Now finds me closer to dead So many years have gone away, so many things I never did say So many times I should have cried So many times I should never have lied It don't matter now...that I'm closer to dead Every bridge I should have burned and every high and low Things I ran to or fled And everything I never learned, perhaps I'll never know Now I'm closer to dead So many years have gone away, so many things I never did say So many times I should have cried So many times I should never have lied It don't matter now, It don't matter now It don't matter now...that I'm closer to dead
