Lyrics
Got a ticket in my pocket
Its time is long past done
Keep moving forward through the cars
Till I've run them all but one
Well no matter how I barter
No matter how I plead
There'll be no throwing this collector
If he catches me
Oh open up that gate
Let this old dog run
The hounds are closing in
Let him have his fun
There's headlights in my rearview mirror
No matter how I weave
I question how I got this far
Its Fate I do believe
See the Reaper swinging in the field
On borrowed time am I
As I race the omen crow
Across the sky
Oh open up that gate
Let this old dog run
The hounds are closing in
Let him have his fun
Each night I hope to play my hand
I gamble for reprieve
Betting with a slight of hand
Still a few cards up my sleeve
But no matter how I scramble
No matter how I pray
There is no cheating when they come
To take you away
Oh open up that gate
Let this old dog run
The hounds are closing in
Let him have his fun
