[Intro]
(x4)
[Verse 1]
A whisky 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
[Chorus]
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
[Intro repeat]
(x4)
[Verse 2]
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
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
[Chorus]
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
[Break]
nanananaa (x3)
And I hope someone will pray for me
When it s my turn to die... pray for me!
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
