Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, clean electric guitar melody, pedal steel swells]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
People make their plans for tomorrow
With no thought of amends each day
And they feel that they will live forever
With death just a heartbeat away

[Chorus]
[pedal steel guitar melody]
You should make your plans for tomorrow
You should make your amends each day
You should tell the ones that you love them
For death's just a heartbeat away

[Verse 2]
Lord I planned and amend for tomorrow
For a love I had wronged one day
And I felt that I would have tomorrow
With death just a heartbeat away

[Chorus]
[electric guitar fills]
You should make your plans for tomorrow
You should make your amends each day
You should tell the ones that you love them
For death's just a heartbeat away

[Instrumental Break]
[pedal steel guitar solo, walking bassline, brushed snare]

[Verse 3]
If I see the dawn's light tomorrow
Then I'll live it just like today
And I'll live that sweet day not regretting
With death just a heartbeat away

[Chorus]
[full arrangement]
You should make your plans for tomorrow
You should make your amends each day
You should tell the ones that you love them
For death's just a heartbeat away
For death's just a heartbeat away
[final acoustic guitar strum]
