Dyin' All Young Songtext
von Chuck Prophet

He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′ all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′ all young

Well the telephone rang off the hook
While the sun was goin′ down
She never heard her baby callin'
Now her baby ain′t around
It broke his mama's heart
Something pulled him like the tide
Up on the banks of Macedonia (?)
Laid down and closed his eyes
Summer nights
Ain′t never gonna feel right
Dyin' all young


He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin' all young
He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young

Wanted to be
There in your future
Want you to see me
When you look back
Want to be around
To see you glow
Little cowboy
Shine like
Lighting through a crack
But you climbed back
In that saddle
For one more fatal ride
If I had it all to do
I′d lock in you in your room
For good this time
Summer night
Ain't never gonna feel right
Dyin′ all young


He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin′ all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young
He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′ all young

Well I don't like
Anything I'm seein′
I don′t like anything at all
And when I come
Across your memory
It always turns
My skin to crawl
I know I should feel lucky
Lucky I'm alive
One day your love
Bloomed like a flower
That flower up and died
We pump so much
Shit into this river
The river flows into the sea
Everyday I think about you
Could you ever think of me?

He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′ all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
(Gonna meet your maker)
Dyin' all young

If you were here
I'd pick you up
I′d make you say
You′d had enough
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young
I′d pat your skin
Pull out your hair
Why go along
And leave me here
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young

Dyin' all young
He-He didn′t
He didn′t
He didn't
He didn′t
Gonna meet your maker
Dyin' all young
(He didn′t even
Get to see the summer)
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin′ all young

Like a hour before, plus
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin′
Dyin' all young
He didn′t even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′ all young
He didn't even get to see
The summer settin'
Dyin′
All-dyin′
All-dyin' all
