Dyin' Ain't Much Of A Livin' |
You rode a fifteen year old boy straight to his grave |
And the rest of us straight to hell |
A whiskey bottle comforts me |
And tells me not to cry |
While a full moon says a prayer for me |
I try to close my eyes |
But the night’s there to remind me |
Of the guns and the early graves |
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep |
To sing an outlaw’s serenade |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' |
When you’re livin' on the run |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness |
For the things that I have done? |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
Oh, desert’s been a friend to me |
It covers me by night |
And a snakebite’s not my enemy |
But it taught me how to fight |
All this fame don’t bring you freedom |
Though it wears a thin disguise |
And an outlaw is just a man to me |
And a man has to die |
Oh, dyin' ain’t much of a livin' |
When you’re livin' on the run |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness |
For the things that I have done? |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
And I hope somebody will pray for me |
When it’s my turn to die, pray for me |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' |
When you’re livin' on the run |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness |
For the things that I have done? |
Dyin' ain’t much of a livin' for the young |
