[Sequence: Dirty Guitar Intro | Verse 1 | Pre-Chorus | Chorus | Verse 2 | Chorus | Guitar Solo | Verse 3 | Breakdown | Bridge | Final Chorus | Outro] [Intro | Dirty Blues Guitar Riff] [Drums Slam In] [Verse 1] Somebody called me "sir" today. Didn't like the sound of that. Caught myself looking in the mirror... Wondering where the hell my hair went at. My doctor says I need more walking. My back says maybe not. My knees predict the weather now... And they're right more than they're not. But Friday night comes calling And I still know what that means. There's gas inside the tank... And places I ain't seen. [Pre-Chorus] So don't pull up my rocking chair. Don't hand me no damn blanket yet. I've got a few miles on me... But I ain't finished with 'em yet! [Chorus | Huge Guitars] I'M NOT DEAD YET! Don't start digging that hole! There's still a little fire Burning down inside this soul! I might be slowing down! But I ain't stopped living yet! Got a few more scars, A few less hairs... And a whole lot less regret! Turn it up! Let it roll! There's still some road ahead! I'M NOT DEAD YET! [Gang Vocals] NOT DEAD YET! [Verse 2] My kids think I should take it easy. My friends say I should know my age. Well, I know exactly how old I am... I just don't know how I'm supposed to behave. I still take roads I've never driven. Still stay out later than I planned. Still buy things I don't really need Because someday ain't a retirement plan. I can't party like I used to. That's probably for the best. These days two beers and midnight Feels like some kind of endurance test. [Pre-Chorus] But getting tired ain't giving up. And getting older ain't the end. It just takes me twice as long to recover... Before I do it all again! [Chorus | Heavy Guitars] I'M NOT DEAD YET! Don't start digging that hole! There's still a little fire Burning down inside this soul! I might be slowing down! But I ain't stopped living yet! Got a few more scars, A few less hairs... And a whole lot less regret! Turn it up! Let it roll! There's still some road ahead! I'M NOT DEAD YET! [Gang Vocals] NOT DEAD YET! [Guitar Solo | Dirty Blues-Rock Lead] [Verse 3] I've watched enough years disappear To know they don't come back. And I've lost enough good people To understand the fact... Nobody gets a warning When the last good day goes by. So while I've still got mornings... I'm gonna use mine. Maybe that's a little reckless. Maybe I've finally learned. Life doesn't owe me tomorrow... So today's getting its turn. [Breakdown | Bass, Drums and Hammond] Still curious. Still laughing. Still making questionable plans. Still taking the long way Just because I can. Still turning up the radio. Still singing every word. Still embarrassing my children... [Pause] Which frankly... Is one of life's remaining pleasures. [Heavy Guitar Slam] [Bridge | Half-Time] I don't need to be twenty. Wouldn't go back if I could. I spent half those years wondering If I was doing life any good. Now I know there's no finish line Where somebody tells you you've won. You get whatever days you're given... And you decide what gets done. So don't tell me my best years Have already come and went. I ain't keeping score anymore. I'm spending what's left. [Drums Build] Every damn bit of it. [Final Chorus | Massive Full Band] I'M NOT DEAD YET! And I ain't waiting around! There's still another road to take, Another night out on this town! I might be slowing down! BUT I AIN'T STOPPED LIVING YET! I've got stories left to stumble into, People I ain't even met! Turn it up! Let it roll! Let tomorrow worry about the rest! I'M NOT DEAD YET! [Gang Vocals] NOT DEAD YET! [Male Lead] Little older! [Gang] NOT DEAD YET! [Male Lead] Little slower! [Gang] NOT DEAD YET! [Male Lead] Still standing! [Gang] MORE OR LESS! [Male Lead] GOOD ENOUGH! [Full Band] I'M NOT DEAD YET! [Outro | Dirty Guitar Riff] Tomorrow morning... I may reconsider some of this. [Pause] Especially the dancing. [Pause] And possibly the stairs. [Heavy Guitar Hit] But tonight? Turn it up. [Final Riff] I'm not dead yet. [End]
