Lyrics

All of my heroes died early
From Earnhardt to Lane Frost to Whitley
And everyone still remembers their name and the day
I think I may go out like Cobain
Start using the stuff that killed Elvis and Hank
Then I bet my songs would get radio play all the time
Lord, don't let me make it past 50
Growing old don't seem like fun
I'd rather have buddies tell grandkids
'Bout the man that I would have become
Than fill in the blanks with a lifetime
Or finish a tale on my own
'Cause I won't be as good as expected
And I'm just too dang young to grow old
Hope I die before I make a bad album
Or I have to get a real job
'Cause most of your life is spent working
And that just seems wrong
I think I may buy a Camaro
Kick the bucket 'fore they collect what I owe
And the sleazy salesman that sold it to me
Can come pick it up at my home
Lord, don't let me make it past 50
Growing old don't seem like fun
I'd rather have buddies tell grandkids
'Bout the man that I would have become
I can be somebody's hero
If I leave before the encore
Potential's the bane of existence
Better to leave them wishing for more
But I found a real pretty lady
One day I'd like to make a wife
And sitting 'round talking 'bout babies
Sounds like a beautiful life
And I can lead worship on Sundays
Still get to play my guitar
It turns out to be small-town famous
You ain't gotta be a rock star
So, Lord, let me make it past fifty
I'm beginning to understand
As much as I love Keith Whitley
I'd much rather be Billy Graham
There's a lot more to this life than stardom
I can start building up for the next
It'll be even better than expected
Just old enough to contemplate death
