The Good Die Young

You wake up, watch the world go round

You shiver, feeling upside down

Your heart is beating fast, pumpin' blood to your head

Another day to fight

You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun

And a loaded gun

You remember that your father said

"Stay out of trouble, son, and be true to yourself

You'll be workin' like a dog, raise a family

Life will be alright"

But now it's written in the stars if you make it out alive

Out alive

The good die young

There might be no tomorrow

In God we trust

Through all this pain and sorrow

The good die young

The flame will burn forever

And no one knows your name

Bring the boys back home again

Home again

It was a quiet day on the streets of hope

When the bomb went off at the side of the road

Sounds of breakin' steel, windshields full of blood

No enemy in sight

It feels like in a movie, scenes are passin' by

It's your life

The good die young

There might be no tomorrow

In God we trust

Through all this pain and sorrow

The good die young

The flame will burn forever

And no one knows your name

Bring the boys back home again

Home again

You remember every word that your father said

"Stay out of trouble, son, and be true to yourself"

Got a prayer on your lips under the desert sun

And a loaded gun

The good die young

There might be no tomorrow

In God we trust

Through all this pain and sorrow

Yeah, yeah

The good die young

The flame will burn forever

And no one knows your name

Bring the boys back home again

Home again
