Lord tell me why
There's so many ways to die
Lord tell me why
There's so many ways to die.*
I'm gonna take me
A walk by the river
And I'm gonna jump
Jump right in
I'm gonna curse that
Muddy old water
'cause that river knows,that I can't swim
Oh lord
The trouble I'm in
And I'm gonna take me
Oh by the mountain
And when I'm way
When I'm way up high
I'm gonna curse that
Dirty old mountain
'cause that mountain knows
That I can't climb
Oh lord
There's so many ways to die
'Cause last night I had
His love in my hands
Now I can't understand,where it's gone to
Oh but all it was
It was over just like that
And I can't get it back
Even though I want to
Oh lord
I'm gonna buy me
A case of bourbon
And I'm gonna drink
I'm gonna drink it dry
Oh but I've cursed
Every drop that I am drinking
'cause I know booze
Will get me by and by
Oh lord
There's so many ways to die
Oh lord
Lord tell me why
There's so many ways to die
I gotta know lord
I gotta know lord
There's so many ways to die
