If The Good Die Young - Tracy Lawrence

[Verse 1]
[G] It was Sunday mornin' I was seven years old
In the backyard playin' in a big mud hole
I was all decked out, ready for church
Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt [D] [Dm] [C]

[Verse 2]
[G] Mama hit the ceilin', she was fit to be tied
Talkin' 'bout how she's gonna tan my hide
But daddy was laughin' when I changed my clothes
Sayin' [D] mama leave the boy alone [G]

|[Chorus]
|'Cause if the [C] good die young, if the [G] good die young
|[D] Our little boy's gonna have a lot of fun
|'Cause he's [G] gonna live forever if the good die young

[Verse 3]
[G] Ten years later had a hot-rod Ford
Constable clocked me at a hundred and four
Judge said boy you're gonna hurt yourself
You'd a long been dead if you was anybody else [D] [Dm] [C]

|[Chorus]
|'Cause if the [C] good die young, yeah if the [G] good die young
|[D] Oh, there ain't a sentence gonna hold you son
|'Cause your [G] gonna live forever if the good die young"

[Verse 4]
[G] Well I got a good heart, I wouldn't hurt a soul
But I'm gonna keep rockin' til they call that roll
Old St. Peter's gonna have to wait
I'm gonna go to Heaven but I might be late [D] [Dm] [C]

|[Chorus]
|'Cause if the [C] good die young, Lord if the [G] good die young
|[D] Pedal to the metal, let your motor run
|'Cause I'm [G] gonna live forever if the good die young

[Outro]
And if the [C] good die young, Lordy if the [G] good die young
[D] Take out the jams, we'll have some fun
'Cause I'm [G] gonna live forever if the good die young
I'm gonna live forever if the good die young
