Old age will come for you someday,
And all the wild old men will celebrate the young.
That's because, they have so far left t run.
One day that could be you my brothers & my sons.
I miss my grandfather, he died far to young
He was an engineer, and a farmer, and a warrior 'till the day he was done
And I wish I would've known him, so much better.
I wish I would've eaten all the breakfasts that he made me on a platter.
Oh why do the good die young?
Why do they have to die at all?
Why do the good die young?
Why do they have to die at all? 2 3 4
Everywhere I go, I keep his compass close,
In my jacket pocket, so I can find my way home.
Every day that I wake up, I drink some orange juice.
He said son, a cup a day will keep you alive and well.
old age will come for me someday
But I'm not scarred of it, as long as it doesn't take me too soon.
But I'll admit it brother, no I don't want to die,
But I'm not scarred of death, as long as it doesn't take me too soon
*Chorus*
Oh why do the good die young?
Why do the have to die at all?
Why does there have to be a good and a bad?
No, I don't believe in it at all.
