A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young Lyrics - Eric Church

1 I like fast cars, and shop grease

2 Chased a lot of crazy things

3 Left behind my share of broken pieces

4 This morning I turned 36, and you just remember half of it

5 You wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus

6 I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder

7 But you kept me from goin' under,

8 When that current got too heavy

9 I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

10 In a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

11 Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

12 Fear, I've had none

13 What the hell made you want to love

14 A man, who was gonna die young

15 In the mirror, I saw my surprise

16 When those gray hairs like to hide, on my head

17 Didn't think he'd live past thirty

18 If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for

19 As you run your fingers through, say "slow down, honey"

20 I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder

21 But you kept me from goin' under,

22 When that current got too heavy

23 I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

24 In a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

25 Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

26 Fear, I've had none

27 What the hell made you want to love

28 A man, who was gonna die young

29 Call it intuition, or call it crazy

30 Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies

31 But I'd gladly stick around if we're together

32 So baby when you bow your head tonight

33 Could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind?

34 And with you I'd like to live, well
