I Don't Live Today
Jimi Hendrix · Jimi Hendrix: Live At Berkeley [2010]
Well I just can't say.
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say.
But I know for sure
I Don't Live Today.
No sun coming through my windows,
feel like I'm living at the bottom of a grave.
No sun coming through my windows,
feel like I'm living at the bottom of a grave.
I wish you'd hurry up 'n' execute me
so I can be on my mis'rable way
I Don't Live Today;
It's such a shame to waste you time away like this.

i know for sure i don't live today
