Talk about life, talk about death
Talk about catchin' every breath
Talk about when, and talk about why

Talk about do, and talk about don't

Talk about will and talk about won't

Talk about the sweet by and by

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'

Get busy livin' or at least die tryin'

Wine's for tastin', road's for takin'

Talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'

Talk about right, talk about wrong

Talk about tryin' to get along

Talk about the way it all would be.

Talk about now, talk about then

Talk about everywhere you've been

Talk about bein' free

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'

Get busy livin' or at least die tryin'

Wine's for tastin', road's for takin'

Talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'

Well, talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'

Get busy livin' or at least die tryin'

Wine's for tastin', road's for takin'

Talk is cheap and time's a-wastin'
