End Up Having To Die

End Up Having to Die

Was on trail and ended up being erratic
Back an forth seemed to be my tactic
When enemy had been trying to confuse
His weakness to my advantage wanted to use.

God Himself helped me to get a great grip
Prepared me to be going on a long trip
And in and out of trouble me would bring
When I was in search of a certain thing.

What that subject may be only I knew
Then all of a sudden from out of the blue
My eyes now started to get a firm fix
On a bar someone called the Check Six.

Not sure if six is a direction or a step
Like six-thirty low, fast pace or clip
Am sure to this there must be a meaning
When off into space plane went careening.

Got you covered is what it turned out to be
And stay in formation and don't break free
If you did do I have heard that this is why
You will someday end up having to die.
