Ninety-Nine-and-a-Half Won't Do

Ninety-Nine-and-a-Half Won't Do-Dan Pickett
Vestapol, with a slide

I've been runnin', just tryin' to make a hundred
Well, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
Says, I been a-runnin', (slide finishes line)
Well, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
Oh, won't do, oh, won't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
Oh, won't do, won't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do

My Mother she run, to try to make a hundred
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
My Mother she run, to try to make a hundred
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
It didn't do, oh, didn't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
It didn't do, it didn't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do

Well, you talk about me that, the much as you please
And why'd you talk? I'm on the bended knees
Satan would pass, a-like a snake in the grass
It's only time, no Christian pass
I haven't been to Heaven, but I been told
The streets was pearly, the gates was gold
So when I get to Heaven, gwine a-sing and tell
A-how I'm escape them gates of hell
And when I get to Heaven, 'bout a thousand years
I set right down, look, I talk and tell
I talk about my Father, I chatter with the Son
I talk about a world that I just come from

'Cause I been a-prayin', just tryin' to make a hundred
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
Well, I been prayin', (guitar finishes line)
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half didn't do
Oh, won't do, oh, won't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
Oh, won't do, it won't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do

Amazing grace, how sweet it sound
You see a risk like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see

'Cause I'm gonna sing to, to try to make a hundred
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
'Cause I'm gonna sing to try to make a hundred
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
It won't do, oh, won't do
Oh, ninety-nine-and-a-half won't do
It won't do, it won't do
Oh, ninety-nine (guitar finishes line)
