Die Young

Lessons on a railroad track

And for a peny you can ride

Watch it change before your eyes

As you wave goodbye

A failure in an unmarked grave

With a photo I tried to save

It might say a million words

But none of them are true

Holding on to nothing

Is all I used to do, and saying

That I gotta get out of here

And I don't care if it takes all night

It might take a hundred years

So I won't die young

What you take from pain is victory

And a compliment to tragedy

Watch it fade, and drive away

From the wreckage of your life

'Cause there's a knife and fingerprints

A "sorry" letter she never sent

It probably says a million things

But none of them are true

And holding on to something

Is all she'll ever do, and saying

That I gotta get out of here

And I don't care if it takes all night

It probably takes a hundred years

So I won't die young

Man, I gotta get out of here

I don't care if I drive all night

It might take a million years

So I won't die young on this lonesome run

So pay respects to where you've been

If you look ahead it's easier to see

That we gotta get out of here

And I don't care if it takes all night

It might take a million years

Se we won't die young

We all gotta get out of here

We shouldn't care if it takes our lives

It might take a million years if we never try

We might as well die young

We might as well die young
