Legends

I grew up in this small town On dirt roads, I'd spend my nights Drinkin' shine and raisin' hell And runnin' from the lights And every cop, they knew my name From the first day I was born Angels on my shoulders But the devil had me torn Now it's smoke and fire and gunshots And there's whiskey on my breath I've had many talks with Jesus Turns out I'm not scared to death But if my days are numbered Well, there ain't no need to cry 'Cause heroes get remembered, baby But legends never die Some men may love one woman But I try to love 'em all The higher that you climb up, baby The further that you fall I was runnin' out the back door I left no stone unturned With hands of steel, I played with flames And never did get burned Now it's the smoke and fire and gunshots And there's whiskey on my breath I've had many talks with Jesus Turns out I'm not scared to death But if my days are numbered Well, there ain't no need to cry 'Cause heroes get remembered, baby But legends never die Some say death is the beginning Some say you only live one life That old man at the pearly gates Is gonna be surprised I'll get there twisted up and broken Breathin' fire and I'll be tokin' Shiftin' gears, hell, I ain't scared Dual pipes and they'll be smokin' Now it's smoke and fire and gunshots And there's whiskey on my breath I've had many talks with Jesus Turns out I'm not scared to death But if my days are numbered Well, there ain't no need to cry 'Cause heroes get remembered, baby But legends never die Heroes get remembered But legends never die
