Dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when one's left behind does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life
That ain't so bad

I only hope to God that I go first
I couldn't live on memories
I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong

There are some things in life you can't replace
A love like ours don't happen twice
When all his days are through
Mine will be too

'Cause dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when one's left behind does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life
That ain't so bad

I've met boys who talk 'bout farms and horses
And they don't do much for me
I don't need to end up in a rockin' chair
Seems you get to live your life just once
If that's how it's gotta be
Then I'd rather breathe in life than dusty air

Dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when you're left alone does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life

A short and lovin' life

A short and lovin' life
That ain't so bad
