Black Stone Cherry - Born to Die lyrics
[Black Stone Cherry - Born to Die lyrics]
Of a man shot down by a law man's gun
On his dying day he looked my way
He said listen to me son while you still can
You gotta take life's cards
With a loving hand
And you can live to fight another day
Because we're born to die
In this life, when it's time take a bow
What you leave behind
You've got a love for life
Take your time, make it right
Before you go, you can shine a light
Guard your promise, cross my heart
Told my secret to the stars
Now I know the reason why we're born to die
I was fifteen, I knew it all
I tried to run before I knew how to crawl
And couldn't nobody seem to
Make me understand but in this life
You've gotta pick your fights
And even if you loose you
Gotta know you tried
Sometimes you've got to fall
Before you dance
Because we're born to die
In this life, when it's time take a bow
What you leave behind
You've got a love for life
Take your time, make it right
Before you go you can shine a light
Guard your promise, cross my heart
Told my secret to the stars
Now I know the reason why we're born to die
Because we're born to die
In this life, when it's time take a bow
What you leave behind
You've got a love for life
Take your time, make it right
Before you go you can shine a light
Guard your promise, cross my heart
Told my secret to the stars
Now I know the reason why we're born to die
Born to die
