Lessons on the railroad track And for a penny you can ride Watch it change before your eyes As you wave goodbye A Failure in an unmarked grave With a photo I tried to save It might say a million words But none of them are true Holding on to nothing Is all I use to do, and saying That I gotta get out of here And I don't care if it takes all night If might take a hundred years so I won't die young What you take from pain is victory And a compliment to tragedy Watch it fade and drive away From the wreckage of your life 'Cause there's a knife and fingerprints A "sorry" letter she never sent It probably says a million things But none of them are true And holding on to something is all she'll ever do and saying
That I gotta get out of here And I don't care if it takes all night It probably takes a hundred years So I won't die young Man I gotta get out of here I don't care if I drive all night It might take a million years So I won't die young on this lonesome run So pay respects for where you've been If you look ahead it's easier to see That we got to get out of here And I don't care if it takes all night It might take a million years So we won't die young We all got to get out of here We shouldn't care if it takes our lives It might take a million years If we never try We might as well die young We might as well die young
