"Dyin' All Young" lyrics - 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
