Rue Snider - Dead Man's Shoes Lyrics

I don't wanna wear a dead man's shoes
I don't wanna be sad when I think of you
I don't wanna lie I wanna tell the truth
I don't wanna live like I used to

I wanna be everything that I can be
I wanna be there for you like you've been there for me
I wanna run through meadows and I wanna breathe free
I wanna live every moment and die happy

You're the reason I've been thinking
Life might not be a series of disasters
When I see you sleeping beside me in the morning
It makes me wanna try harder

Try Harder!

You're the reason I've been thinking
Life might not be a series of disasters
When I see you sleeping beside me in the morning
It makes me wanna try harder

I wanna be a man don't wanna be a boy
I wanna put away foolishness and seek real joy
I wanna know your heart like a child knows his toys
I wanna love you every day until we're soil

I don't wanna wear a dead man's shoes
I don't wanna be sad when I think of you
I don't wanna lie I wanna tell the truth
I don't wanna live like I used to
