If The Good Die Young

This is just another sad song. If you don't like long songs then don't listen to it. Even when I get around to editing it, it won't be much shorter.

Story behind the song

I was trying to write a song about sitting on my woodshed drinking beer as I watched a lightning storm pass. But then....

Lyrics

Sitting on the old woodshed, slapping back some brew instead
Of doing work that needs to get done soon
Sorta feeling kinda down, think I’ll have another round
And try to piss away the afternoon
In all the time I know I waste, trying to forget your face
I never took the time to wonder why
You’re all I ever think about, and I know without a doubt
It’ll be that way until the day I die

    Refrain
    If the good die young I’ll live forever
    If we pay our sins I swear to never
    Touch another drop to get me through
    Praying for the end of time 
    Hoping for some peace of mind
    But knowing that I’ll die still loving you

I watch the shadows fall across all the hours that I lost
Trying to free your memory from my mind
It seems I only try in vain ‘cause all the heartaches still remain
And I really thought it wouldn’t be this time
So, what a fool I proved to be, to think I ever could be free
It’s not as though I found another way
On a hope and prayer I just get by, of course that’s just another lie
I tell myself to get me through each day

                    {Refrain}

As the night fades into grey I guess I’ll face another day
Can’t wait to start to get you off my mind
Think I’m gonna have one more, then quit for good just like before
Good thing I hold the keys to closing time
That morning star is like a sign, reminds me I’m just doing time
Till something, somewhere, somehow falls apart
So I start another day anew trying not to think of you
But damned to bear the sorrows of my heart

                    {Refrain – twice - fade while whistling}
