Day That I Die Lyrics

Early morning in a motel room
Sunshine trying to creep on through
Lost sleep but I found a tune
Stuck inside my head
Cigarettes, a tank of gas
Headed off to nowhere fast
Gotta find a way to make this feeling last

'Cause I believe that I
Was born with a song inside of me
Never question why
I just kept on chasing that melody
And as time goes by
Oh it's funny how time can make you realize
We're running out of it

On the day that I die
I wanna to say that I
Was a man who really lived and never compromised
And when I've lived out my days
Until the very end
I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands
I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands

A part of dawn to be ashamed of
But good people are supposed to be up
But I found peace with the path I took
As I lay down my head
Crossroads you gotta choose
Which way do we win or lose
But every bone in my soul says to sing on through

'Cause I believe that I
Was born with a song inside of me
Never question why
I just keep on singing these melodies
As time goes by
It's funny how time can make you realize
We're running out of it

On the day that I die
I wanna to say that I
Was a man who really lived and never compromised
And when I've lived out my days
Until the very end
I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands
I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands

We all go, we all go
It's all over before you know

I believe that I
Was born with a song inside of me
Never question why
I just keep on singing these melodies
And as time goes by
It's funny how time can make you realize
We're running out of it

On the day that I die
I wanna to say that I
Was a man who really loved and never compromised
And while I live out my days
Until the very end
You can find me in my home, a guitar in my hands
You find me in my home with my guitar in my hands
