She woke up this morning said I'm glad you're alive You ain't a cross on the side of the road tonight I's kicking up birds when the storm came in I's walkin' the tree rows they held tight at the fence Rooster in flight I'd a never got him The hunting was fine but the shootin' was the problem Turned the key west back on 34 Everything had changed don't it always before you know I ain't gonna die out here with the rest of them I ain't gonna dance among the angels Don't wanna die young like before Everything'd changed don't it always before you know I was sittin' shotgun my buddy's in the back Beer in my hand retriever on my lap Spinnin' tires and swervin' in the wind 60 miles an hour and it all went dim Oncoming lane hit the edge of the road Head over the bar ditch woke to my daughter's voice Crippling fear I'd never get home Everything had changed don't it always before you know I ain't gonna die out here with the rest of them I ain't gonna dance among the angels Don't wanna die young like before Everything'd changed don't it always before you know
