» Die Trying

*CHORUS:
*AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
*IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING.
*EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER
*SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING…
*SURRENDER.
*OR DIE TRYING.

Verse 1
Don’t know if it was the freedom
Or something I was running from
But when the highway called
I drove into the setting sun.
I was 18, the world so big
Full of life and things to see.
Now, on the south side of 50
It’s like the walls are closing in on me.

Verse 2
Coast to coast, I chased my dreams
Never felt I could catch them.
I couldn’t see the good ol’ days
‘til they were already at an end.

PreChorus
I guess that’s the curse of wanting.
Never satisfied in what we have
dropping little treasures on the way
Til there’s nothing left to grab…

*CHORUS:
*AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
*IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING.
*EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER
*SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING…
*SURRENDER.
*OR DIE TRYING.

< Pedal Steel SOLO >

These days the roads stopped rolling
And my hands shake in the evening.
I’m tired, worn thin,
the bruises showing.


/PreChorus

BASS DRUMS

GET DOWN TO
THE HEART OF THE MATTER
GET BUSY LIVING
OR GET ON WITH THE DYING

*CHORUS:
*AND TO GET DOWN TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
*IT’S GET BUSY LIVING… OR GET ON WITH THE DYING.
*EVERY DAY, WE’RE CLOSER TO THE LATTER
*SO BABY IT’S SURRENDER OR DIE TRYING…
*SURRENDER.
