Nothin' To Die For

Stopped to have a few at five

Now you're crossing that center line for the third time

Second time like this this week, had a friend ask you for your keys

You said, "No, I'm fine."

You sure do act like you ain't got a thing to lose

But every car you pass might be the one you take with you

You'd give your last breath to your wife

Take a bullet for your kids

Lay your life down for your country, for your Jesus, for your friends

There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for

Well, you've got to fight it somehow, stop and turn around

'Cause this ain't nothin' to die for

So what's the harm in a little fun?

'Cause you're off to work before the sun everyday

And the inbox/outbox locks you in

And the money you make ain't worth the time you spend to make your pay

The doctor says, "Man, your numbers - they don't lie."

The graveyard's full of folks that didn't have time to die

You'd give your last breath to your wife

Take a bullet for your kids

Lay your life down for your country, for your Jesus, for your friends

There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for

Well, you've got to fight it somehow, stop and turn around

'Cause this ain't nothin' to die for

Straight through that guardrail up into that white light

You hear a sweet voice saying just this side of the other side

Just this side of the other side

You'd give your last breath to your wife

Take a bullet for your kids

Lay your life down for your country, for me and all your friends

There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for

Well, you've got to fight it somehow, stop and turn around

'Cause this ain't nothin' to die for

Ain't nothin' to die for

Nothin' to die for

Ain't nothin' to die for, no
