Die a Little - Written by Dell Sweet

Song Title: Die A Little. Style: Alternative

Verse-One:

Met a girl in seventy five, she thought I was everything. But just myself in my arrogance was all I had to bring.

We would drive for hours in my chevy until it all got too heavy. Don't know how it happened but the bottom just fell out, swear it wasn't me... couldn't see... I just never liked to choose...

Verse-two:

I moved on to the next best thing and it's still waiting to begin. She found what she thought she wanted, he just moved her in.

Guess I seen her ten years back, still thought of the girl I'd often seen. Can't say where the years did take her but life can sure be mean... What you got you got to lose...

Verse-Three:

Once upon a time I met this woman, you know when you're young you can't always say where you been. Maybe it was a whore house but the woman let me in.

She had everything I needed but I just couldn't look past the past. I just held too much against her and the time moved by too fast... Somebody's got to pay the dues...

Verse-four:

You know I met this one in a bad place, swore she was an angel, just a little mud on her face, couldn't see it wasn't able.

We hooked up but it never worked out, just tore us up inside. Some days I think I'll look her up but I'm just waiting to decide... Never did like to choose.

Verse-five:

Summer brings the sunshine keeps me warm most days. You know I am still the same man, just changed in many ways.

I got saved in eighty three when life was the death of me. Money, sex, and prison but you know I found my way back to me... Had nothing left to lose...

Bridge 1:

Life has taken me everywhere I didn't want to stay. You know I'd go home tomorrow if I was sure I'd find my way.

God don't hand us everything sometimes we got to look. I only know it's better to receive the things I took...

Verse-six:

Welcome to tomorrow, I can see it in her eyes. But she could never love me just grow to despise.

I ain't got no silver spoon ain't got no golden touch. Just learning to be an old man, when I was young I had too much...But I always played to lose....

Verse-seven:

Been to Alabama, thought it was my favorite. Had me a woman there but I never learned to love her.

All this time I thought that life revolved around my time. But everybody's got their own life and I'm busy living mine... But it always bought me blue...

Bridge 2:

Sometimes I get lost in the past, it just tears me up inside. Sometimes I got nothing to offer just this empty pride... All set up to lose...text goes here

Verse-eight:

I'd like to go back but it's a long, long way from here. Sometimes in the old days set me crying in my beer.

Time has moved on by me and I just don't drink no more. Somthing I can't handle, I just had to shut that door... Nothing I could do...

Why I Wrote It:

It came to me this morning. It talks about my past. Strictly a self story song.
