They say the good, die young
Tell me, why am I still here?

Well, I'm not old
But far from young
Too late to be remembered
As one of the good ones
They say the good, die young
Why am I still here?

Read it in the paper
Just the other day
Another young man done gone
He had a baby on the way
And I said "ugh mmm mmm"
Asked my buddy for a word
He said the good die young
Least he said that's what he heard

They say the good, diе young
Tell me, why am I still herе?

Well, I'm not old
But far from young
Too late to be remembered
As one of the good ones
They say the good, die young
Why am I still here?
They say the good, die young
Tell me, why am I still here?

This got me thinking
Why I've been here so long
Are these years a blessing?
Or did I do something wrong?
Asked my baby for a word
She said the good die young
Least that's what she said she heard

They say the good, die young
Tell me, why am I still here?
