FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE
Title song of the film "Five Minutes To Live" (1961)
(Johnny Cash)


Johnny Cash (Film Soundtrack) - 1961



What all can you give, with five minutes to live
Hear the tock tick tock of the laughin' clock
What can you do or say, maybe you oughta pray
But you better think positive, you got five minutes to live

Time is flyin' by, now don't you sit there and let it fly
You better come on strong, you can't stay here long
That bell is gonna ring, this is the final fling
Ain't no alternative, you got five minutes to live

What all can you give, with five minutes to live
Get dressed for your date or you're gonna be late
Live a little while you can, don't you sit there and wring your hands
Here comes a great big sedative, you got five minutes to live
