Lyrics
A Good Place to Die.
Copyright 2020 Joseph Miller
Verse 1.
It's been a long (Long journey). (I fear) my candles 'bout done burning...
had my share of good times with the bad
Never dreamed It'd come down to this, Where the one thing in life I'm still missin'.
Its the one thing in life ..... I never wanted that bad)
I knew this day was a comin' but I never knew when or why
I'd be needing me "a good place to die"
Verse 2.
Could this be what life comes down to, like (escrow) with a payment still due?
Just Two Fat bankers shaken hands?
Pardon me my sensitive feelings But this prospects so unappealing
But its nobody's fault just my own damn failure to plan
Guess I'll just have to bargain With that big man in the sky
Cause I'm still needin me A "good place to Die".
Bridge
Death snakes up behind you, Hot on your trail
You'll never see it coming, Head never sees the tail
Slithers up to bite you,And bids you farewell
Surprise, Next stop.... Is it Heaven or Hell
Verse 3
Some Folks think I should repent Others think I'm just an innocent
I'll leave it to them to sort out the wherefores and the whys
Now I've grown weary I will admit,In spite of all the good times, I've grown tired (of it). ?Must be the end of my trail, time for final goodbyes...
sunsets used to make me smile, Lately they just make me cry
That must be my cue to find a good place to die
Verse 4
Been a long day sun growing dim, Man in the Moon here soon
But I'm even tired of him
Used to be I was so scared of diein
Now here I'm at the end of my trail, not a soul around to front me my bail
But no longer scared to dieI don't understand why
sunsets used to make me smile, Lately they just make me cry
That must be my time to find a good place to die
Verse 5
My final act is done, didn't even to take a bow, wonder would I do it all again someway, somehow
these must be the thoughts of a man, at the end of his trail? (So this is what you think of at the end)
All Cards dealt, I played my final hand,
no looking back for, bridges burned or fences I might mend
You know, hell yes id do it all over 1000 times again....
I ain't leaving this world alive, no matter how hard I try
You best find myself a good place to die
A good place to die
A good place to die
