Justin Wells - Three Quarters Gone lyrics

Artist: Justin Wells

album: Dawn in the Distance


My old man never farmed, he never worked in a mine
But he's worked his hands down to the bone
And the pennies he saved kept the bills halfway paid
But now his body is three quarters gone
My Mama's never had a drink in her whole life
Never saw too much in it that's good
And given half a chance, if you told her you can't
She'd say "Honey, if ya can't, ya never could"
Well, it's good 'til it's over
It's a shame that it's over so soon
But you pay life the debt that you owe her
'Til the sun gives way to the moon
And try as I can to make right and understand, I just need more time
Well my brother chose a road a little harder than most
But he's turned out pretty damn good
And Jenny never made a grade that wasn't A
Always tried just as hard as she could
Well, it's good 'til it's over
It's a shame that it's over so soon
But you pay life the debt that you owe her
'Til the sun gives way to the moon
And try as I can to make right and understand, I just need more time
I just need more time
Well, it's good 'til it's over
It's a shame that it's over so soon
But you pay life the debt that you owe her
'Til the sun gives way to the moon
And try as I can to make right and understand, I just need more time
I just need more time
