Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeA Man Who Was Gonna Die Young
I like fast cars and sharp dreamsChased a lot of crazy thingsLeft behind my share of broken piecesThis morning I turned 36When you just remember half of itYou wonder how you outlived Hank and JesusI put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunderBut you kept me from goin' underWhen that current got too heavyI always thought I'd be a heap of metalIn a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedalSold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out ChevyFear, I've had noneWhat the hell made you wanna loveA man who was gonna die youngIn the mirror I saw my surpriseWho knew gray hairs liked to hide on a headThat didn't think he'd live past thirtyIf I make it thirty moreIt's the brown that you'll be looking forAs you run your fingers through it and say"Slow down, honey. "I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunderBut you kept me from goin' underWhen that current got too heavyI always thought I'd be a heap of metalIn a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedalSold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out ChevyFear, I've had noneWhat the hell made you wanna loveA man who was gonna die youngCall it intuition, or call it crazyJust thought by now I'd be pushing up daisiesBut I'll gladly stick around if we're togetherSo baby, when you bow your head tonightCould you tell the Lord I've changed my mind?And with you I'd like to live forever
