lyrics

I’VE DONE ALL THE THINGS THAT DADDY DID,
MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS,
FROM THE TOP SHELF TO THE FLOOR.
STAYED OUT LATE UNTIL THE BARMAN,
SHOWED US THE FRONT DOOR,
I’VE BEEN WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN,
NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT FOUR.

I DON’T WANNA’ DIE THIS YEAR,
JUST LIKE DADDY DID,
DON’T WANNA’ LAY DOWN,
AND LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND.
GONNA MAKE A NEW START,
BABY I’LL BE HERE,
DON’T WANNA’ SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES,
IN MY 53RD YEAR.

DID YOU EVER SEE THE HEARTACHE DADDY,
ALL YOUR DRINKIN’ DID.
EVER SEE YOUR SAD LIFE,
THROUGH THE EYES OF YOUR OWN KID.
NEVER SAW YOUR BEST FRIENDS,
BY YOUR SIDE WHEN YOU WENT DOWN,
JUST MUM AND ME, AND WHAT’S TO BE,
FOR BEING ONE OF THE CROWD.

I DON’T WANNA’ DIE THIS YEAR,
JUST LIKE DADDY DID,
DON’T WANNA’ LAY DOWN,
AND LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND.
GONNA MAKE A NEW START,
BABY I’LL BE HERE,
DON’T WANNA’ SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES,
IN MY 53RD YEAR.

I DON’T WANNA’ DIE THIS YEAR,
JUST LIKE DADDY DID,
DON’T WANNA’ LAY DOWN,
AND LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND.
GONNA MAKE A NEW START,
BABY I’LL BE HERE,
DON’T WANNA’ SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES,
IN MY 53RD YEAR.

I DON’T WANNA’ DIE THIS YEAR,
JUST LIKE DADDY DID,
DON’T WANNA’ LAY DOWN,
AND LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND.
GONNA MAKE A NEW START,
BABY I’LL BE HERE,
DON’T WANNA’ SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES,
DON’T WANNA’ SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES,
IN MY 53RD YEAR.
