Of Life and Death
A little coughing fit I told myself
And wiped that worry off the shelf
Then shortness of breath begin
In the hospital is where I am
Arms all full of black and blue
Please no more tests,Im through
Xrays here,xrays everywhere
Doc sees something on the lung, dear
Well all my smokings caught up to me
Nodules in my lung, more then three
So next a pet scan then he'll know
How much further I have to go
It took this to put that cigarette out
A little bit to late,is what it's about
