My mate said don't get on that horse He's made a fool of better men than you But I was young and foolish Not to mention being stubborn like a mule One second I was in the air Next I was feet up kissing dirt Through the haze I heard a voice say 'Bring the doctor I think the boy is hurt' CHORUS Doctor, the light is growing dim And I've heard a calling from the other side Doctor there's so much I haven't done And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky'e eyes Oh doctor I'm too young to die They took me to a shady spot And the doctor took one look and softly spoke 'There's really nothing I can do Bring his mther I think his back is broke' it was then I heard a voice say Something bout a good for nothing son Why'd you go and do a thing like that Bring the preacher I think his time has come CHORUS The darkness fell around me And up ahead the paerly gates came into view Saint Peter said 'Hey cowboy c'mon in, We've been expecting you' But I said doctor, the light is growing dim and I've heard a calling from the other side Doctor there's so much I haven't done And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky'e eyes But Isaid Doctor the light is growing dim Doctor there's so much I haven't done Doctor I'm too young to die
