John Rich - Why Does Somebody Always Have To Die? lyrics

Mama said, "Stay away from the train yard children

Don't be playin' on in the tracks

Those old big devils can sneak up on ya

And run you down just like that", hey, hey

Well, little brother Jonah didn't heed her warnin'

Tried to chase a fast one down

I can still hear the words my mama was cryin'

As we laid him in the ground, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

She said, "Why does somebody always have to die?

Before people listen and open up their eyes

There ain't no need for hurtin' or the bloody tears we cry

So why does somebody always have to die?"

Mr. White collar in an uptown high rise

Finishin' a twelve hour day

A double tall glass of tequila sunrise

Takes a little stress away, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Well, he came around the corner doing 87

Swerving all over the place

He sent a five year old straight to Heaven

And never even touched his brakes, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Before people listen and open up their eyes

There ain't no need for hurtin' or the bloody tears we cry

So why does somebody always have to die?

There once was a carpenter living in Nazareth

Said He was the Son of God

Said He came here to free the captive

And bring faith to the lost, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

Well, He tried to tell him all about life eternal

But they just wouldn't believe

And He said, "Father, won't you please forgive them?"

As they nailed Him to the tree, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

Why does somebody always have to die?

Before people listen and open up their eyes

There ain't no need for hurtin' or the bloody tears we cry

So why does somebody, yeah why does somebody always have to die?

Always have to die

Mama said, "Stay away from the train yard children

Don't be playin' on in the tracks

Those old big devils can sneak up on ya

And run you down just like that"
