Judy asked me if my grandma was dying. I said "aren't we all?"
Aren't we all? Because it is all over the moment you are born your fate is sealed before you ever start. And we are all heading in the same direction. None of us are getting out of here alive. So you can step heavy, sing loudly, enjoy.
I bet he'd say that he don't regret a thing-- not his marriage, not his children, not the mills. What a man, what a life, what a way to spend your 80 years in this place. But he ain't no different. He's heading in the same direction. He wont make it out of here alive. You see it was all over the moment he was born. His lots were casts before he ever had a chance. So you can step heavy, sing loudly, Papa, enjoy.
Some day my baby will ask me, "Mama, are you dying?" I'll say, "We all are, my baby, my sweetie, we all are. You see, it was all over the moment I was born. I knew this would happen before we ever met. And if there's one sure thing I can promise you it's that we wont make it out of here alive. So you can step heavy, sing loudly. Don't apologize for the things you did not do. Button, unbutton, and do it happy happy because you've got nothing here to lose."
We are heading in the same direction. We are all the same. Enjoy.
