we all die young

it was late one night

i was counting out my stitches

waiting by the side of the road

i was a long time gone

slipping off my britches

feeling like it's time to go home

yeah

feeling like it's time to go home

and in this dream

bill tecumseh sherman

glowered at the foot of my bed

he was long and lean

he spoke in perfect german

and i recorded all that he said

yeah

i recorded all that he said

he said: we all die young
