Eric Church A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young lyrics

I like fast cars in sharp dreams
Chased a lot of crazy things

Left behind my share of broken pieces
This morning I turned 36
You just remember half of it
You wonder how you outlived Hank or Jesus

I put the rage in the river
The roll in the thunder

You kept me from going under
When that current got to heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
In 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 want to love?

A man who was gonna die young

In the mirror I saw my surprise
When the gray hairs like to hide
On the head
Didn't think he'd live passed 30
If I make it 30 more
Just the brown that you'll be looking for

As you run your fingers through say slow down honey

I put the rage in the river
The roll in the thunder

You kept me from going under
When that current got to heavy

I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
In 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 want to love?

A man who was gonna die young

Call it intuition or call it crazy
Just thought by now I'd be pushin' 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 changed my mind

And with you I'd like to live forever
