That Aint Right Its Just So Wrong

It's not good  for  a person to live so long                                                                                   Everyday I sing this sorrowful song                                                                                                    From late at night to the early dawn                                                                                                       My brother and sister have long been gone                                                                                That ain't right,  it's just so wrong

They were both much younger then me                                                                                        Can someone put me out of my misery                                                                                           Life is too short, that's what people say                                                                                         Not mine, looks like I'm here to stay                                                                                                  That ain't right,  it's just so wrong

The other day I heard a motorcycle go by                                                                                      The sound of that engine made me cry                                                                                                           I rode a Harley Davidson, candy apple red                                                                                        Ma yelling, get off that thing or you'll end up dead                                                                    She was wrong,  she was just so wrong

In this wheelchair I sit still hanging on                                                                                      Even though I'm old I feel very strong                                                                                          What a crying shame what a pitiful pity                                                                                 Nothing but wrinkled skin that sure ain't pretty                                                                     That ain't right,  it's just so wrong         

Guess by now your tired of  listening to me
Well out of this body I too would like to be free
A paradise is at the end just waiting for me
I know for a fact because I've been given the key
That is right,  it's just so right
