Only The Good Die Young

Come out Virginia, don't let me me waitYou Catholic girls start much too lateBut sooner or later it comes down to fateI might as well be the oneThey showed you a statue and told you to prayThey built you a temple and locked you awayBut they never told you the price that you payFor things that you might have done.....For only the good die young that's what I saidOnly the good die young only the good die youngYou might have heard I run with a dangerous crowdWe ain't too pretty we ain't too proudWe might be laughing a bit too loudBut that never hurt no oneSo come on Virginia show me a signSend up a signal I'll throw you the lineThe stained-glass curtain you're hiding behindNever lets in the sunDarlin only the good die young woh - ohOnly the good die young only the good die youngYou got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmationYou got a brand new soul And a cross of goldBut Virginia they didn't give you quite enough informationYou didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosaryOh oh oh And_theySay there's a heaven for those who will waitSome say it's better but I say it ain'tI'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saintsThe sinners are much more fun...You know only the good die young that's what I sayOnly the good die young only the good die youngYou say your mother told you all that I couldGive you was a reputa-tionShe never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me?Oh oh oh And_they
