Hayseed Dixie - Born To Die In France lyrics

by John Wheeler, Copyright 2007 Wheeler's Drunk and Playing Music (SESAC) Great Grandaddy died back in the First World War Other people's money is what he was fighting for Now the taxman's still got both his hands deep down my pants Maybe I was born to die in France I've done rode my motorbike across most of France today And I could make it to the Swiss border if the sheep would get out of my way But it's raining gla** and the sun's gone black so d**h's still got a chance Maybe I was born to die in France They won't speak my language They don't like my kind I couldn't feel more out of place or be more out of my mind I've watched my whole life flashing before my eyes like an angry glance Maybe I was born to die in France I'm thinking all these governments do is check my pa**port at the door And all they do full stop is guard the rich folks from the poor The Age of Reason's become the Age of Charismatic ignorance Maybe I was born to die in France Sometimes I can forgive the truth other times I lie I've never been afraid to live I've never been afraid to die Tonight I pull the throttle full and leave it up to chance Maybe I was born to die in France
