Ain’t Dead Yet

I flew out to California
I can't say it was a waste of time
I was staring in the eyes
Of the burning hills and the Hollywood lights

Out of all the conversations
Over prettry drinks
And God knows I met a man On the west coast that changed my life

He told me money burns fast
And the truth goes down hard
Lawyers lie, lovers cheat, but there's nothing like a broken heart

There are many things I've done
That I have lived to regret
So make your moves count
'Cause you ain't dead yet

Stranded back in Georgia
I was itchin' to get up and go
I called my mamma in the middle of the night

Well, she never understood my rambling ways
But I think mamma had a few of her own
'Cause there was a silence before she said goodbye

She told me money burns fast
And the truth goes down hard
Lawyers lie, lovers cheat
But there's nothing like a broken heart

There are many things I've done
That I have lived to regret
So make your moves count
'Cause you ain't dead yet

Well I was standing by his grave
Talking like he was there
And I felt the wind pick up the sweet scent on the air

He was blues man
And my best friend
Went before his time
Above my head he prayed asking for a sign

I heard money burns fast
And the truth goes down hard
Lawyers lie, lovers cheat
But there's nothing like a broken heart

There are many things I've done
That I have lived to regret
So make your moves count
'Cause you ain't dead yet
Make your moves count
'Cause you ain't dead yet
You better make your moves count
'Cause you ain't dead yet
