Starting off with nothing
Trying to make it pay
Seems there's always someone
Trying to take it all away
Then it gets you thinking
That something just ain't right
You know that someone here
Ain't gonna make it through the night
You'll never know
What's coming to you
Before you know
It will be too late
And it won't take long
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
It's funny how situations
Can get so out of hand
No idea it's happened
To the unsuspecting man
This time there is no leaving
No getting out alive
He's come face to face
With a dreaded 45
You'll never know
What's coming to you
Before you know
It will be too late
And it won't take long
And I'll be on my way
No it won't take long
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
Ooh, I'll be on my way
