Day That I Die Lyrics - Amos Lee

Early morning in a motel room 

Sunshine trying to creep on through 

Lost sleep but I found a tune 

Stuck inside my head 

Cigarettes, a tank of gas 

Headed off to nowhere fast 

Gotta find a way to make this feeling last 

'Cause I believe that I 

Was born with a song inside of me 

Never question why 

I just kept on chasing that melody 

And as time goes by 

Oh it's funny how time can make you realize 

We're running out of it 

On the day that I die 

I wanna to say that I 

Was a man who really lived and never compromised 

And when I've lived out my days 

Until the very end 

I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands 

I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands 

A part of dawn to be ashamed of 

But good people are supposed to be up 

But I found peace with the path I took 

As I lay down my head 

Crossroads you gotta choose 

Which way do we win or lose 

But every bone in my soul says to sing on through 

'Cause I believe that I 

Was born with a song inside of me 

Never question why 

I just keep on singing these melodies 

As time goes by 

It's funny how time can make you realize 

We're running out of it 

On the day that I die 

I wanna to say that I 

Was a man who really lived and never compromised 

And when I've lived out my days 

Until the very end 

I hope they find me in my home, a guitar in my hands 

I hope they find me in my home with my guitar in my hands 

We all go, we all go 

It's all over before you know 

I believe that I 

Was born with a song inside of me 

Never question why 

I just keep on singing these melodies 

And as time goes by 

It's funny how time can make you realize 

We're running out of it 

On the day that I die 

I wanna to say that I 

Was a man who really loved and never compromised 

And while I live out my days 

Until the very end 

You can find me in my home, a guitar in my hands 

You find me in my home with my guitar in my hands
