Dyin' ain't so bad

Not if you both go together

Only when one's left behind does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad

I only hope to God that I go first

I couldn't live on memories

I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong

There are some things in life you can't replace

A love like ours don't happen twice

When all his days are through

Mine will be too

'Cause dyin' ain't so bad

Not if you both go together

Only when one's left behind does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad

I've met boys who talk 'bout farms and horses

And they don't do much for me

I don't need to end up in a rockin' chair

Seems you get to live your life just once

If that's how it's gotta be

Then I'd rather breathe in life than dusty air

Dyin' ain't so bad

Not if you both go together

Only when you're left alone does it get sad

But a short and lovin' life

A short and lovin' life

A short and lovin' life

That ain't so bad
