If it's my time to die today
Please God oh, make it fast
Balanced on this point for a year and half
I just don't think I can last There's a man who's laid to rest
The man who gave me my start
I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart So please all you people, don't you grieve for me
The blood in my veins is black and I can't bleed
I've suffered the pain and all I can face is the dark Oh, Lord, quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart Now my bags are almost packed
The train's about to depart
I wish I could quit but I can't and it's rough Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart
Quick is the beat of my heart If it's my time to die
