Text: Nelson. Running Out of Time.

Johnny played the rebel, huntin' for a cause
Short fuse, fused dynamite hungry for a spark, ooh yeah
His 9 mil. loaded with borrowed time
Bad boy swore, he couldn't die
Till he faced a man, a little bit quicker on the draw

He tried to steal his destiny
He bragged of immortality
Now he ain't that tough six feet deep

Short rides on the glory train
Through dead end streets of no escape
Lyin' in the bed you made on a ship
That came in too late
You're running out of time
You're running out of time

Jenny came home from the ritzy side of town
D drove her mommy's Benz
Lived in daddy's great big house, ooh yeah
She hawked her gold to feed the spike
A great escape on the pony ride
'Cuz mom and dad wouldn't let their little baby out

When China White's your lyin' friend
You've sold your soul when the party ends
And you're dancing blind on the razors edge

Short rides on the glory train
Through dead end streets of no escape
Lyin' in the bed you made on a ship
That came in too late
You're running out of time
You're running out of time

You and me are victims of our blood
Haunted by the ghosts of who we loved
Our parents sing that same old song
Where the hell did we go wrong?
Just take a look in the mirror mom and dad

Don't look back, it burns your eyes
You can't win if you don't try
Only you control your life

Short rides on the glory train
Through dead end streets of no escape
Lyin' in the bed you made on a ship
That came in too late
You're running out of time
You're running out of time

Don't you know, you're runnin' out of time?
Wake up, wake up, goddammit, wake up
You're running out of time
You're running out of time
You're running out of time, time, time
