I don't want to spend the rest of my life

starin' at a man,  Looking down a line

Just a stylized version of an obsolete file

I don't want to spend the rest of my time

You read them in a book and apply them to your life

She don't want to spend the rest of her heart

waste it on a job, and never get a start

I don't want to spend the rest of my life

looking for a girl I'm never gonna find.

Starin' back at me when I come home at night

but how can she be as pretty as I write?

It will be hard, but I know I'm all right,

what the needle can't find

And the money won't save what the money

can't buy

And part of me is safe

And part of me is lies

           G
So be mine tonight.
