Dying Man

[Verse 1]

I was a bad reputation

With an attitude to match

Hellbent on goin' nowhere

And gettin' there lightnin' fast

Twenty-one and lookin' thirty

But actin' half my age

Bound to hit a wall

Before I ever hit the brakes

[Chorus]

Codeine, it got Elvis

Whiskey, it got Hank

I always thought somethin' like that

Might send me on my way

But you took hold of me

Like only a woman can

And gave one good reason to live

To a set-on-dyin' man

[Verse 2]

When a Friday meets a Sunday

You can't help but see the light

I never believed in angels

'Til one believed in me that night

Turned my off-track into a straight line

Before I turned into a headline

[Chorus]

Like, Codeine, it got Elvis

Whiskey, it got Hank

I always thought somethin' like that

Might send me on my way

But you took hold of me

Like only a woman can

And gave one good reason to live

To a set-on-dyin' man

[Bridge]

Woah-oh

Turned a one-way man one-eighty

Settled down a given-upper

Yeah, you changed a "You can't change me"

So, the world won't see another

[Chorus]

Codeine, it got Elvis

Whiskey, it got Hank

I always thought somethin' like that

Might send me on my way

But you took hold of me

Like only a woman can

And gave one good reason to live

To a set-on-dyin' man

[Outro]

A set-on-dyin' man
