Testo Why Does Somebody Always Have to Die - John Rich

Testo della canzone Why Does Somebody Always Have to Die (John Rich), tratta dall'album 00's Country Music

Momma said stay away from the train yard, children
Don't be playing on them tracks
Those old big devils can sneak up on you
And run you down just like that
Yeah, hey yeah
Well, little brother Jonah didn't heed her warning
Tried to chase a fast one down
I can still hear the words my momma was crying
As we laid him in the ground
Yeah, hey yeah
She said, "Why does somebody always have to die
Before people listen and open up their eyes?"
There ain't no need for hurting or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody always have to die?
Mister white collar in an uptown high rise
Finishing a twelve hour day
A double tall glass of tequila sunrise
Takes a little stress away
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Well he came around the corner doing eighty-seven
Swerving all over the place
He sent a five year old straight to Heaven
And never even touched his brakes
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Why does somebody always have to die
Before people listen and open up their eyes?
There ain't no need for hurting or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody always have to die?
There once was a carpenter living in Nazareth
Said he was the Son of God
Said he came here to free the captive
And bring faith to the lost
Yeah, hey yeah
Well he tried to tell them all about life eternal
But they just wouldn't believe
And he said, "Father, won't you please forgive them?"
As he nailed him to the tree
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Why does somebody always have to die
Before people listen and open up their eyes?
There ain't no need for hurting or the bloody tears we cry
So why does somebody
Yeah, why does somebody
Always have to die?
Always have to die
Momma said stay away from the train yard, children
Don't be playing on them tracks
Those old big devils can sneak up on you
And run you down just like that
