A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young |
I like fast cars and sharp dreams |
Chased a lot of crazy things |
Left behind my share of broken pieces |
This morning I turned 36 |
And when you just remember half of it |
You wonder how you outlived Hank or Jesus |
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder |
But you kept me from going under |
When that current got too heavy |
I always thought I’d be a heap of metal |
In a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal |
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy |
Fear, I’ve had none |
What the hell made you wanna love |
A man who was gonna die young |
In the mirror, I saw my surprise |
Who knew gray hairs liked to hide |
On a head that didn’t think he’d live past thirty |
If I make it thirty more, it’s the brown that you’ll be looking for |
As you run your fingers through it and say, «Slow down, honey.» |
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder |
But you kept me from goin' under |
When that current got too heavy |
I always thought I’d be a heap of metal |
In a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal |
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy |
Fear, I’ve had none |
What the hell made you wanna love |
A man who was gonna die young |
Call it intuition, or call it crazy |
Just thought by now I’d be pushing up daisies |
But I’ll gladly stick around if we’re together |
So baby, when you bow your head tonight |
Could you tell the Lord I’ve changed my mind? |
And with you I’d like to live forever |
