Carolina John Rees When I Go Down Down Down Lyrics

When I go down down down to the end of life
I'll drink a toast to the things I've never tried
Life spun me round round round with a whittling knife
My stop's right here and thank you for the ride

Sometimes this old life seems clearer than a mountain stream
The here and now is all we'll ever need
But somewhere along the line, even with the sweetest wine
Sweet is all it's ever gonna be

When I go down down down to the end of life
I'll drink a toast to the things I've never tried
She spun me round round round with a whittling knife
My stop's right here and thank you for the ride

I never took the time to consult this heart of mine
Just planted this old garden row by row
But now I understand, plow with a steady hand
And don't look back, that ain't the way to go

The stream it never knows just where the water goes
But that don't seem to matter to me now
To the sea that never ends, or just around the bend
The journey's all that matters anyhow

When I go down down down to the end of life
I'll drink a toast to the things I've never tried
Life spun me round round round with a whittling knife
My stop's right here and thank you for the ride
My stop's right here and thank you for the ride
