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
The 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
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
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 someone 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
