Dogs and such, they don¡¯t know how old they really are
|
They don¡¯t have to go to work, or learn to drive a car
|
They just live ¡¯til they can¡¯t see, ¡¯til their bark ain¡¯t got no bite
|
I still hear him howlin¡¯, howling in the night
|
|
The air is still as time flies by at a most unruly pace
|
Unless you¡¯re in a prison cell, it has no name or face
|
I do recall what I told myself, as I turned 52
|
This time it¡¯s different, this time I got you
|
|
This time I got you
|
|
Walking in the patient¡¯s room, when everything turned red
|
I recognized the reaper man who raised his ugly head
|
He said ¡°Relax, don¡¯t worry man, I got no claim on you¡±
|
I remembered I was not alone, one and one make two
|
|
Spinning round and searching, looking for the door
|
I realized there¡¯s no way out, I can run no more
|
I lay right down just where I stood, I only had one shoe
|
I knew that you would come for me, this time I got you
|
|
This time I got you
|
|
No one gets out alive it¡¯s true, this I surely know
|
The path ahead is paved in gold, everywhere I go
|
I always find you, and with every day anew
|
No longer a janglin¡¯ man, ¡®cos this time I got you
|
|
This time I got you
|

This Time I Got You
