IT WAS SUNDAY MORNIN'
I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD
IN THE BACKYARD
PLAYIN' IN A
BIG MUD HOLE
I WAS ALL DECKED OUT
READY FOR CHURCH
HAD MY BRAND NEW SUIT
ALL COVERED IN DIRT
MAMA HIT THE CEILIN'
SHE WAS FIT TO BE TIED
TALKIN' 'BOUT HOW
SHE'S GONNA
TAN MY HIDE
BUT DADDY WAS
A-LAUGHIN' WHEN I
CHANGED MY CLOTHES
SAID MAMA LEAVE
THE BOY ALONE
'CAUSE IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
OH OUR LITTLE BOY'S
GONNA HAVE
A LOT OF FUN
'CAUSE HE'S GONNA
LIVE FOREVER
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
TEN YEARS LATER HAD
A HOT ROD FORD
CONSTABLE
CLOCKED ME AT
A HUNDRED AND FOUR
JUDGE SAID BOY YOU
GONNA HURT YOURSELF
YOU'D A-LONG
BEEN DEAD
IF YOU WAS
ANYBODY ELSE
BUT IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
YEAH IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
OH THERE AIN'T
A SENTENCE GONNA
HOLD YOU SON
'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA
LIVE FOREVER
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
WELL I GOT
A GOOD HEART
I WOULDN'T HURT A SOUL
BUT I'M GONNA KEEP
A-ROCKIN' TILL THEY
CALL THAT ROLL
OLD ST. PETER'S
GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
I'M GONNA GO
TO HEAVEN BUT
I MIGHT BE LATE
AND IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
LORD IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
PEDAL TO THE METAL
LET YOUR MOTOR RUN
'CAUSE I'M GONNA
LIVE FOREVER
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
AND IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
LORD IF THE GOOD
DIE YOUNG
KICK OUT THE JAMS
WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN
'CAUSE I'M GONNA
LIVE FOREVER
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
SAID I'M GONNA
LIVE FOREVER
IF THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
