Only The Good Die Young Lyrics

Only The Good Die Young lyrics

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too
late
Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well, will
be the one

Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray
They
built you a temple and locked you away
Ah but they never told you the price
that you pay
For things that you might have done

Only the good die
young
That's what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die
young

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too
pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Ah but
that never hurt noone

So come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a
signal I'll throw you a line
That stained glass curtain you're hiding
behind
Never lets in the sun

Darlin only the good die young
I tell
you only the good die young
Only the good die young

You get a nice
white dress
And a party on your confirmation
You've got a brand new
soul
Mm and a cross of gold
But Virginia they didn't give you
Quite
enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your
rosary
And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say
it's better but I say it ain't

I'd rather laugh with the sinners
Than
cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun

You know that only
the good die young
I tell you only the good die young
Only the good die
young

You said your mother told you
All I could give you was a
reputation
Ah she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for
me?

Come out, come out, come out Virginia
Don't let me wait
You
Catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to
fate
I might as well, will be the one
You know that only the good die
young
Tell you baby
You know that only the good die young
