Dyin` Ain`t Much Of A Livin` Lyrics

[Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock:] 
"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his grave and the rest of us straight
to hell." 

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 

Oh... 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 
And an outlaw is just a man to me 
And a man has to die 

Oh, 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 
na... 

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 
na...
