Up from the ashesout of the flames
Keeps gettin’ strongerlike a slow rollin’ train
Watch it run
Ohwhy do the good die young
Burnin’ like a shootin’ star
Born with a broken heart
Off in the distanceit was callin’ my name
So I took me a rideon that slow rollin’ train
It still runs
But it seems that the good die young
Playin’ on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin’ like a shootin’ star
Born with a broken heart
Seems it was overbefore it begun
Killed by a bulletfrom a six-string gun
Bang a drum
Ohwhy do the good die young
Ridin’ in a long black car
Born with a broken heart
Playin’ on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin’ like a shootin’ star
Born with a broken heart
