Lyrics:

Gonna tell my Momma, gonna tell my Pa

Climb the highest mountain just to say to all of y'all

I ain't got long, I ain't got long for this world

That don't worry me none, just a matter of being

misunderstood



Ain't got no worries, ain't got no tears

Got pain and misery that go way beyond my years

But I ain't got long, ain't got long for this world

That don't worry me none, just a matter of being

misunderstood



Sitting here reaching for words to say


Steady here preaching while they call my soul away

I ain't got long, I ain't got long for this world

That don't worry me none, just a matter of being

misunderstood



Steady here giving, steady here trying

I'm steady here living just as surely as I'm dying

I ain't got long, I ain't got long for this world

That don't worry me none, just a matter of being

misunderstood
