Dyin' All Young - Chuck Prophet

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

Well the telephone rang off the hook

While the sun was goin' down

She never heard her baby callin'

Now her baby ain’t around

It broke his mama’s heart

Something pulled him like the tide

Up on the banks of Macedonia (?)

Laid down and closed his eyes

Summer nights

Ain’t never gonna feel right

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

Wanted to be

There in your future

Want you to see me

When you look back

Want to be around

To see you glow

Little cowboy

Shine like

Lighting through a crack

But you climbed back

In that saddle

For one more fatal ride

If I had it all to do

I’d lock in you in your room

For good this time

Summer night

Ain’t never gonna feel right

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

Well I don’t like

Anything I’m seein'

I don’t like anything at all

And when I come

Across your memory

It always turns

My skin to crawl

I know I should feel lucky

Lucky I’m alive

One day your love

Bloomed like a flower

That flower up and died

We pump so much

Shit into this river

The river flows into the sea

Everyday I think about you

Could you ever think of me?

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

(Gonna meet your maker)

Dyin' all young

If you were here

I’d pick you up

I’d make you say

You’d had enough

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

I’d pat your skin

Pull out your hair

Why go along

And leave me here

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

Dyin' all young

He-He didn’t

He didn’t

He didn’t

He didn’t

Gonna meet your maker

Dyin' all young

(He didn’t even

Get to see the summer)

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

Like a hour before, plus

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin' all young

He didn’t even get to see

The summer settin'

Dyin'

All-dyin'

All-dyin' all
