We All Die Young Lyrics

It was late one night I was counting out my stitches
Waiting by the side of the road
I was a long time gone slipping off my britches
Feeling like it’s time to go home
Yeah feeling like it’s time to go home
And in this dream Bill Tecumseh Sherman
Glowered at the foot of my bed
He was long and lean he spoke in perfect German
And I recorded all that he said
Yeah I recorded all that he said

He said
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
When I woke next day layered in the lashings
Feeling for the hole in my head
I was thinking ’bout my dad thinking ’bout the nashings
Of all the bitter things that he said
Yeah all the worrying things that he had said

And he said
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young

Son he said
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young

And it came to pass when everything had ended
The world was just a grubby balloon
And I spoke up said “sorry if I’ve offended”
This voice came from the back of the room
Oh screaming from the back of the room

It said
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die we all die young
We all die young

One more time
We all die young
Bill Tecumseh Sherman
We all die young
We all die young
Sorry if I’ve offended
We all die young
We all die young
We all die we all die young
We all die young

We all die young
We all die young
We all die we all die young
We all die young
We all die young
We all die we all die young…
