[Verse 1]
You've got to learn real history:
Oldest man in Bible times
Name was called Methuselah
Was nine hundred and sixty-nine

[Verse 2]
We had some guys come close
Almost ran for a thousand yards
Didn't quit 'til they got buried
They should've known -- it's just too hard

[Chorus 1]
Oh, when we look back now
Those fellas seemed to live forever
Genesis chapter 5
Yeah, you oughta run and read there
Those men were blessed with such long lives

[Turnaround]
Hey!

[Verse 3]
Ain't no use in explainin'
When the godless mock the Truth
Them hyenas howl at the Bible
And that's the fountain of youth -- yeah
[Chorus 2]
Standin' knockin' on your door
The Lord says you could live forever
Ohh, can't you tell, my friend?
I do believe it's now or never
These are the last days of your life
Oh-oo yeah!
That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind
Ohhhh!

[Bridge]
Maybe there still is time
But the young forget that they need eternal life
To get somethin' that lasts forever
Forever, oh!

Yeah!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
And all the time we're agin'
Look at every wrinkle comin' on
Some guys will not make it over 60
Think about that while I close this song
[Chorus 3]
Standin' knockin' on your door
He told you how to live forever
Ohh, when you will not bend
Hebrews said it was now or never
These are the last days of your life
Oh-oo yeah!
That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind
Uh-huh!

[Outro]
That should be somethin' that sticks in your mind
Ohh-oo yeah
Hebrews 3:7, 8, and 15 find
Ohhhhh! Hey
And verse 4:7 -- discover some of those nifty lines
Hey!
Wow! Hoh!
