Lyrics

C Dm Fmaj7 G6
Everyday, for forty long years
Everyday, barely holding back tears
Everyday, another dead young man
But now this town is finished, and I've got other plans

Though I'm and old man, I'd gonna find me a wife
I'm gonna travel round this here land and see the best of life
Never been a gambling man, but I'll give anything a try
Now that my job is not to sit and watch young folks die

Am Fmaj7
This is that one day
Am G6
I waited for all my life
This is just one day
*Sigh*

Everyday I'll do what I've always wanted to do
Everyday I'll thank the Lord that my life has started anew
Everyday I'll shout this out and I won't tell any lies:
That a man's life is not quite done until the day he dies
