Die Young

Original

I was feeling my age.

I was up on a stage. I was missing my woman.

We were turning a page.

I'd sing my songs as the crowd sang along.

Look how far we've traveled now. Baby, look how far we've come.

And even though we tried in the beginning not to survive, well, thank God that we didn't die young.

Mm.

We pressed on and on.

Time was moving too fast.

I got to missing the past.

And this old Econoline always getting low on gas. So pull over and rest.

Blood brother, a pact.

And we will live on forever, babe, with the wind at our backs.

Mix your blood with mine. Let our songs build ruins in time.

And say to it that if we die young, mm,

I'll live on through you.

And you'll live on through me, too.

Crashed the engine in a ditch, Louisiana-Texas state line.

Thank God that we didn't die.

Taylor blew the windshield driving out of Boone one summer afternoon. Thank God that we didn't die young. Count to three, don't fall asleep.

I'm worried that you won't wake up. Thank God that we didn't die young.

Next-door neighbor in her garden heard the cries coming through the walls.

Thank God that we, thank God that we. Walker, Dallas, in a state.

Baby, it's only one mile. Thank God that we didn't die young.

Flying over highways like we weren't butterflies. Thank God that we, thank God that we.

Fell in love.

Thank God that we, thank God that we. Grew up.

Thank God that we, thank God that we. Mm.

Thank

God that we, thank God that we. Thank God that we didn't die young.
