Before they cut that silver cord
And I go home to meet the Lord
I want to get on the plane and fly to Japan
Play my songs for everybody and then
I want to get on a jet and get to London
Step back from the microphone and just listen
To British people singing my songs
Loud as thunder in the stadiums
I want to get the guts on my own
Face my fears concur them
Before they cut that silver cord
And I go home to meet the Lord
I want to make two fists and pound my chest
I want to do something real dangerous
Like going undercover in a foreign land
And risking my life fighting the wicked
I want a naked girl in my bed right now
Having a drink and reading the Bible
And when I die and she is old
I want her to know I was brave and faithful
