A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young
Eric Church

I like fast cars and shop dreams,

Chased a lot of crazy things,

Left behind my share of broken pieces

This morning I turned 36

And you just remember half of it

You wonder how you out-lived Hank or Jesus

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

But you kept me from going under

When that current got too heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

Fear I've had none,

What the hell made you wanna love

A man who was gonna die young?

In the mirror I saw my surprise,

Who knew gray hairs like to hide on a head,

Didn't think he'd live past thirty

If I make it thirty more,

It's the brown that you'll be looking for

As you run your fingers through,

Say slow down honey

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

But you kept me from going under

When that current got too heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal

And a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal

Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy

Fear I've had none,

What the hell made you wanna love

A man who was gonna die young?

Call it intuition, or call it crazy

Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies

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

So baby when you bow your head tonight,

Could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind

And with you I'd like to live forever
