verse 1 In the name of progress big ole building goin' up
and in the name of progress another mom and pop shop bites the dust
that old home town flavor has all but disappeared
and i worry when i wonder what its gonna be like in twenty years
chorus i may not have the answer when its all said and done
sometimes i have to question where they're comin from
i know where im goin when they lay me to rest
oh i aint afraid of dying lord, its the livin' that scares me to death
verse 2 sirens scream in the city gunshots ring in the night
another mother watches while her young son clings to life
some father says in the name of God he took his babys life
well i dont think so the God i know wouldnt believe thats right
chorus i may not have the answer when its all said and done
sometimes i have to question where they're comin from
i know where im goin when they lay me to rest
oh i aint afraid of dying lord, its the livin' that scares me to death
lord i may not have the answers when its all said and done
sometimes i have to question where they're comin from
i know where im going when they lay me to rest
oh i aint afraid of dying lord, its the livin' that scares me to death
i know where im going when they lay me to rest
oh i aint afraid of dying lord, its the livin' that scares me to death
scares me to death
