Good Die Young

(album: Troubadour Of Troubled Souls - 2021)

Had a date with the devil then I changed the schedule
Earned several medals by slinging that heavy metal
Turquoise and a feather speaking to the spirits
Baby tell me can you hear it I die for what I hold dearest
Hope it never has to come to that
But I promise I'm never gonna run from that
Stand my ground like a man draw the line in the sand
Family over everything regardless how it land
I'll be damned if my soul damned
And me and karma gotta hold hands
I'll go to war in a minute I'll be fighting for my children
So the enemy got no chance
I'm a warrior for what's right
Even though I did some wrong things
I wanted to get on for my offspring
Tried to do it big so my kids could enjoy all of the small things

They say the good die young I'm still breathing
I'm the son of the righteous but my father was a heathen
When I go what am I leaving a story worth reading?
Or a bunch of tales that'll probably drive my family off the deep end
They say the good die young so I'm breathing
I may have ran with some demons
But I've never been a heathen
I believed all along righted my wrongs in my songs
I put family over everything til everything was gone

Yea I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain been a hero for my children
When I'm no longer living just remember all the good parts
Yea I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain been a hero for my children
When I'm no longer living just remember all the good parts

Had a talk with the angels they told me I'm in danger
Look a my reflection see the image of a stranger
It's been a long ride what will I do with the remainder
The good die young so my species are endangered
I'm in the jungle with my guns out
Been through the storm but the sun's out
I see the clouds coming I'm not running from this flood
'Cause this time the enemy is gonna get flushed out
On the pirate ship with all my gold
It can sink story still be told
This is the tale of the hopeless
I'm the poet of the broken
Never truer words spoken from a sold soul

They say the good die young I'm still breathing
I'm the son of the righteous but my father was a heathen
When I go what am I leaving a story worth reading?
Or a bunch of tales that'll probably drive my family off the deep end
They say the good die young so I'm breathing
I may have ran with some demons but I've never been a heathen
I believed all along righted my wrongs in my songs
I put family over everything til everything was gone

Yea I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain been a hero for my children
When I'm no longer living just remember all the good parts
Yea I know I've been a bad guy
But I always had a good heart
Played the part of a villain been a hero for my children
When I'm no longer living just remember all the good parts
