Clay Walker – Live Until I Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Skippin’ rocks, skippin’ rope
Laughin’ at all my best friends’ jokes
Things I love when I was a kid
[Verse 2]
Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didn’t live on no black top street
Things have changed a lot but I never did
[Chorus]
And I don’t wanna think about tomorrow
I don’t need anything money can buy
I don’t have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
[Verse 3]
Livin’ right, livin’ in
This little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams
[Verse 4]
Standin’ proud, standin’ tall
Standin’ smack dab in the middle of it all
I don’t worry about things that I can’t change
[Chorus]
And I don’t wanna think about tomorrow
I don’t need anything money can buy
I don’t have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
[Bridge]
And everything around me
Are things I dearly love
And every night i get on my knees
And thank the Lord above
[Chorus]
That I don’t have to think about tomorrow
I don’t need anything money can buy
I don’t have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
[Outro]
I don’t have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die
GENIUS
