If The Good Die Young — текст песни (Tracy Lawrence)

It was sunday morning, I was seven years old

In the backyard playing in a big mudhole

I was all decked out, ready for church

Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt

Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to be tied

Talkin bout how shes gonna tan my hide

But daddy was laughing when I changed my clothes

saying "mama leave the boy alone"

(chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Mamas little boy gonna have alot of fun

Cause hes gonna live forever if the good die young

___

Ten years later had a hot rod ford

Constable clocked me at a hundred and four

Judge said "boy youre gonna hurt yourself

Youd a long been dead if you were anybody else"

(chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Oh there aint a sentence gonna hold you son

Cause hes gonna live forever if the good die young

___

Well I got a good heart, I wouldnt hurt a soul

But Im gonna keep rocking till they call that roll

Old st.peter hes gonna have to wait

Im gonna go to heaven but I might be late

(chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Pedal to the metal, let your motor run

Cause hes gonna live forever if the good die young

___

(chorus)

And if the good die young

If the good die young

They got the jams, well have some fun

Cause Im gonna live forever if the good die young
