You wake up 

Watch the world go 'round 

You shiver 

Feeling upside down 

Your heart is beating fast 

Pumping blood to your head 

Another day to fight 

You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun 

And a loaded gun 



You remember 

That your father said 

Stay out of trouble son 

If you're true to yourself 

You'll be working like a dog 

Raise a family 

And life will be alright 

But now it's written in the stars if you'll make it out alive 

Out alive 



The good die young 

There might be no tomorrow 

In god we trust 

Through all this pain and sorrow 

The good die young 

The flame will burn forever 

And no one knows your name 

Bring the boys back home again 



It was a quiet day 

On the streets of hope 

When the bomb went off 

At the side of the road 

Sounds of breaking steel 

An windshield full of blood 

No enemy in sight 

It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by 

It's your life 



The good die young 

There might be no tomorrow 

In god we trust 

Through all this pain and sorrow 

The good die young 

The flame will burn forever 

And no one knows your name 

Bring the boys back home again 



You remember every word 

That your father said 

Stay out of trouble son 

That'll be true to yourself 

Got a prayer on your lips under the desert sun 

And the loaded gun
