If The Good Die Young Lyrics

It was Sunday morning, I was seven years old

In the backyard playing in a big mudhole

I was all decked out, ready for church

Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt

Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to be tied

Talkin 'bout how shes gonna tan my hide

But Daddy was laughing when I changed my clothes

'Saying "Mama leave the boy alone"



(Chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Mama's little boy gonna have alot of fun

Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young



Ten years later had a hot rod ford

Constable clocked me at a hundred and four

Judge said "boy you're gonna hurt yourself

you'd a long been dead if you were anybody else"



(Chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Oh there ain't a sentence gonna hold you son

Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young



Well I got a good heart, I wouldn't hurt a soul

But I'm gonna keep rocking till they call that roll

Old St.Peter he's gonna have to wait

I'm gonna go to heaven but I might be late



(Chorus)

Cause if the good die young

If the good die young

Pedal to the metal, let your motor run

Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young



(Chorus)

And if the good die young

if the good die young

They got the jams, we'll have some fun

Cause I'm gonna live forever if the good die young
