Good Die Young

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me, why am I still here? (Why am I still here?)

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me, why am I still here? (Why am I still here?) Oh, Lord!

Well, I'm not old

But far from young

Too late to be remembered

As one of the good ones

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Why am I still here? Oh, Lord!

I read it in the paper

Just the other day

Another young man done gone

He had a baby on the way

And I said “ugh mmm mmm”

Asked my buddy for a word

He said the good die young

Least he said that's what he heard

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me, why am I still here? (Why am I still here?) Oh, Lord!

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me, why am I still here? (Why am I still here?) Oh, Lord!

Well, I'm not old

Far from young

Too late to be remembered

As one of the good ones

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Why am I still here?

Oh, yeah!

They say the good die young

Tell me, why am I still here?

All this got me thinking

Why I’ve been here so long

Are all these years a blessing?

Or did I do something wrong?

I said “ugh mmm mmm”

I asked my baby for a word

She said the good die young

Least that’s what she said she heard

Oh, yeah!

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me why am I still here?

Wow, wow!

They say the good (they say the good), die young (die young)

Tell me why am I still here?

Wow, wow!

Hey, yeah!
