Die Trying Lyrics

Let's get down to the heart of the matter

Get busy living… or get on with the dying

Every day, we're closer to the latter

So baby it's surrender, or die trying

Surrender

Or die trying

Don't know if it was the freedom

Or something I was running from

But when the highway called

I drove into the setting sun

I was 18, the world so big

Full of life, and things to see

Now, on the south side of 50

It's like the walls are closing in on me

Coast to coast, I chased my dreams

Never felt I could catch them

I couldn't see the good ol' days

'Til they were already at an end

I guess that's the curse of wanting

Never satisfied in what we have

Dropping little treasures on the way

'Til there's nothing left to grab

Let's get down to the heart of the matter

Get busy living… or get on with the dying

Every day, we're closer to the latter

So baby it's surrender, or die trying

Surrender

Or die trying

These days the roads stopped rolling

And my hands shake in the evening

I'm tired, worn thin

The bruises showing

I guess that's the curse of wanting

Never satisfied in what we have

Dropping little treasures on the way

'Til there's nothing left to grab

Breakdown

Let's get down to the heart of the matter

Get busy living… or get on with the dying

Every day, we're closer to the latter

So baby it's surrender, or die trying

Surrender

Or die trying

Let's get down to the heart of the matter

Get busy living… or get on with the dying

Every day, we're closer to the latter

So baby it's surrender, or die trying

Surrender

Or die trying
