Guy Clark
Die Trying
[Verse 1]
Don't be a stranger
If you're looking for a friend
If you want an even break
You've got to learn to bend
You don't have a song
If you don't know how to sing
You don't have a prayer
If you don't know how to dream

[Chorus]
What's the use in dying if you don't die trying
If you don't die trying, what's the use?
What's the use in flying if you don't die flying
If you don't die flying, what's the use?

[Verse 2]
If you're going to roll the dice
You gotta take a chance
Gotta get out on the floor
If you want to do the dance
If you don't know how to laugh
You'll never learn to cry
If you don't know how to fall
You'll never learn how to fly
[Chorus]
