I Ain't Afraid Of Dying

In the name of progress

Big old building's goin' up

And in the name of progress

Another Mom And Pop shop bites the dust

That old home town flavor

Has all but disappeared

And I worry when I wonder

What is gonna be like in twenty years

I may not have the answer

When it's all said and done

Sometimes I have the question

Where they're comin' from

I know where I am going

When they may need a rest

Oh, I ain't afraid of dying

Lord, it's the living that scares me to death

Sirens scream in the city

Gunshots ring in the night

Another mother watches while

Her young son claims to life

Some father says in the name of God

He took his baby's life

Well I don't think so, the God I know

Will believe that's right

I may not have the answer

When it's all said and done

Sometimes I have the question

Where they're comin' from

I know where I am going

When they may need a rest

Oh, I ain't afraid of dying

Lord, it's the living that scares me to death

Lord, I may not have the answer

When it's all said and done

Sometimes I have the question

Where they're comin' from

I know where I am going

When they may need a rest

Oh, I ain't afraid of dying

Lord, it's the living that scares me to death

Yea, I know where I am going

When they may need a rest

Oh, I ain't afraid of dying

Lord, it's the living that scares me to death

Scares me to death
