Die Trying

Die Trying

verse:
I turned 16 that summer we left town
I was all yours with the road our playground
I held on tight till your Harley hit high gear
took a straight shot like a bullet with no fear

hit the west coast under starlight low tide
you read Kerouac by the fire at my side
I sang Prince songs and you howled at the moon
you said "Baby it's all over too soon!"

Chorus:
gotta live this life, gotta grab it fast or die trying
gotta drain your glass, cause it ain't gonna last, no sense crying
cause life is precious and I ain't lying
gotta live this life or die trying

verse:
I cried out the day I lost you,
I cried, "Lord you better take me, too
ain't no prayer gonna soothe my soul
they'll be hell to pay for the one you stole

Chorus:
gotta live this life, gotta grab it fast or die trying
gotta drain your glass, cause it ain't gonna last, no sense crying
cause life is precious and I ain't lying
gotta live this life or die trying

Bridge:
some day I'll close my eyes for good
lay down beside you in fine wood
forever still where we once stood
I'd love to tell you if I could
how each day was a dream in color
golden hours lost in each other
our love was more than just desire
it burned me like a fire

Solo:

Chorus:
gonna live this life, gonna grab it fast or die trying
gonna drain my glass, cause it ain't gonna last, no sense crying
cause life is precious and I ain't lying
gonna live this life or die trying
cause life is precious and I ain't lying
gonna live this life or die trying
