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 your days are through Mine will be too Dying 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 rocking 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 (than dusty air) Dying 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 A short and lovin' life
