[Verse 1]
Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend

[Chorus]
After all is said and done
Got to move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I got to move, it's still fun
I'm going to walk before they make me run

[Verse 2]
Watched the taillights fading, there are not a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Going to find my way to heaven, because I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well

[Chorus]
After all is said and done
I got to move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make us run
Well, after all is said and done
I did all right, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run
I will walk before they make me run
I will walk before they make me run

So if it's all been said and done
I've got to move, I've had my fun
Well let me walk before they make me run
Oh let me walk before they make me run
I want to walk before they make me run

Before they make me run

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
