COWPIE Country Music Lyrics

One Flew South Too Old To Die Young

Written By: Kevin Welch, Scott Dooley, John Hadley

First verse is sung a Capella

If life is like a candle bright
Death must be the wind
You can close your window tight
And it still comes blowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
To watch the rising sun
And pray that I don't feel that chill
'Till I'm too old to die young

Chorus
F               Bb       C
Let me watch my children grow 
                 G
To see what they become
    C                  F         C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow
          C       G      C
'Till I'm too old to die young

Verse 2
   C              F      C
Now I have had some dear sweet friends
                  G
I thought would never die
        C          F      C
Now all that is left of them
       C           G       C
Is the tear drops in my eye
   C                F       C
If I could have one wish today
                    G
And know it would be done
    C                           F            
I would say every one can stay
          C       G      C
'Till they're too old to die young

Chorus
