From Jackson Brown to Levon Helm To all the things i care about It took a while but i found out the truth If nothing gold can ever stay You take the cards you're dealt today You make 'em into something you can use The dreams i had when i was younger Some so wild it filled with wonder Some that i had failed to recognize Through all these chills and all this noise And all that time spent with the boys I don't know why it comes as a surprise That i don't wanna die on the road Some place that's not my home I've been wrong before but this i know That i don't wanna die on the road If rock'n'roll could save your soul It's also gonna take its thorn You give the things you give And i gave this a life Stevie Ray Harry Chapin But not my name today If it's something you don't wanna hear You keep your hands upon your ears Remember though that there will come a time When all you said is all you'll say You might aswell kill me today If this is all i'm gonna leave behind See i don't wanna die on the road Some place i don't even knoe I've been wrong before but this i know That i don't wanna die No i don't wanna die On the road
