My Time Is Up - 500 Miles To Memphis

I was born in a mining town by the name of Bluefield, WV Now I’m sixty-seven and i lived a good life

I got about an hour left in me Been comatose for the past six months

I’ve had plenty of time to think

I can hear my family talking to me

I’d give anything to speak

I need a miracle tonight

Please god give me that right

Just three little words

One last hug and one more kiss

I got to tell my baby that she’s going to be missed, and I’ll be watching up above

I met a redhead at the age of twenty-one

I knew i had to make her mine

Had a loving marriage of forty-five

Still proud to call her my wife

I can hear her crying over me Her tears are falling on my cheeks

Now don’t you worry everything will be fine

You know i hate to see you cry

I can’t make it through the night

At least i put up a fight

This is not the end

One goodbye for now so long

I’m not here, but i won’t be gone

I’ll be watching from afar

My time is up

I’m heading home

My love and memories?

Well there coming with me, and they’re staying with you
