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 rocking 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 assured in love and life But a short and lovin' life But a short and lovin' life That ain't so bad
