Good Die Young Songtext
von Struggle Jennings

I had a date with the devil, then I changed the schedule
Earned several medals by slinging that heavy metal
Turquoise and a feather speaking to the spirits
Baby, tell me can you hear it, I die for what I hold dearest

Hope it never has to come to that
But I promise I′m never gonna run from that
Stand my ground like a man draw the line in the sand
Family over everything regardless how it lands

I'll be damned if my soul damned
And me and karma gotta hold hands
I′ll go to war in a minute
I'll be fighting for my children, so the enemy got no chance

I'm a warrior for what′s right
Even though I did some wrong things
I wanted to get on for my offspring
Tried to do it big, so my kids could enjoy all of the small things


They say the good die young, I′m still breathing
I'm the son of the righteous, but my father was a heathen
When I go what am I leaving a story worth reading?
Or a bunch of tales that′ll probably drive my children off the deep end

Said the good die young, so I'm breathing
I may have run with some demons, but I′ve never been a heathen
I believed all along righted my wrongs in my songs
I put family over everything 'til everything was gone

Yeah, I know I′ve been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain, been a hero for my children
When I'm no longer living, just remember all the good parts

I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain, been a hero for my children
When I′m no longer living, just remember all the good parts

Had a talk with the angels, they told me I′m in danger
Look at my reflection, see the image of a stranger
Been a long ride, what will I do with the remainder
The good die young, so my species are endangered


In the jungle with my guns out
Been through the storm but the sun's out
I see the clouds comin′ I'm not running from this flood
′Cause this time the enemy is gonna get flushed out

I'm on the pirate ship with all my gold
It can sink story still be told
This is the tale of the hopeless
I′m the poet of the broken
Never truer words spoken from a sold soul

They say the good die young, I'm still breathing
I'm the son of the righteous, but my father was a heathen
When I go what am I leaving a story worth reading?
Or a bunch of tales that′ll probably drive my children off the deep end

Said the good die young, so I′m breathing
I may have run with some demons, but I've never been a heathen
I believed all along righted my wrongs in my songs
I put family over everything ′til everything was gone

Yeah, I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain, been a hero for my children
When I′m no longer living, just remember all the good parts

I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain, been a hero for my children
When I′m no longer living, just remember all the good parts
