1. DYIN' AIN'T MUCH OF A LIVIN' (FT3 ELTON JOHN ON PIANO)

A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes

But the night's there to remind me
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as i fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that i have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight

All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a this disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that i have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

And i hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me


2. SANTA FE

They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
the things are here or there just to remind me
every dog will have his day

The spirits they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns i'm coming home

I swear i'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Once i was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know
With no illusions
That only one of you is going home again

And i blame this world for making
A good man evil
It's this world that can drive a
Good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer
Into a hero
Well i blame this world for making
A good man bad

Now i ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear i'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
( Oh lord have mercy)

So i say a prayer
When i need it most
To the father, son
And the holy ghost
And i'll sign it from a sinner
With no name

When i meet my maker
Will he close the book
On the hearts i broke
And the lives i took
Will he walk away
'Cause my soul's
Too late to save

Now i ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear i'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
