By My Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've been there since Queen St. in 1993
Yeah twenty years and a thousand beers
And you're still there for me
Whitaker Park park after dark
'Till the cops came spotlighting
And yeah we ran, were just kids back then
And we're still singin'
(Yeah!)
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
Outcasts in a small town, in Big Sky country
You had a pickup truck with the music turned up
Let's Go! Cassete side B
How we risked our lives playing
With knives to escape monotony
After all the stupid things we did
Our hearts are still beating
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
(Hell yeah)
(We got two of that, baby)
(Right here in L.A.)
(It's all)
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
Oy oy!
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
I know you'll be by my side
I know you'll be by my side
I know you'll be by my side
