Ninety Seven More To Go

Ninety-nine years is a long long time to bust your back and the heart of mine



You sweat so much you can't cry tears when you stop to think about ninety-nine years



Ninety-nine years on a harder rock mine I work two years off of my time



Ninety-nine years go so slow when you still got ninety-seven more to go







Wrong kind woman got me in this mess wantin' pretty things and a satin red dress



What I couldn't make she said I have to take and judge said ninety-nine for just this sake



[ guitar ]



I take a rest when the guard turns his head



Hopin' he'll be nappin' maybe shoot me dead



Those days drag by and the years go slow



But thank God I only got ninety-seven more to go



Ninety-nine years on a harder rock...
