It was Sunday morning, I was seven years old
In the backyard playing in a big mudhole
I was all decked out, ready for church
Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt
Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to be tied
(E E - Acoustic) (A A E - Acoustic)
But Daddy was laughing when I changed my clothes
'Saying "Mama leave the boy alone"
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Ma, our little boy's gonna have alot of fun
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
Ten years later had a hot rod ford
Well I got a good heart, I wouldn't hurt a soul
But I'm gonna keep rocking till they call that roll
Ol' St. Peter's gonna have to wait
I'm gonna go to heaven but I might be late
(Chorus)
