Born To Die Lyrics - Grand Funk Railroad

Life is too short now to live it half a way 

I'm cryin' for my cousin, who died yesterday 

He never had a chance, no, not to express his views 

I swear that he's leaving it to the rest of you 

Oh, he lived his life of freedom 

Exactly the way that he wanted to 

But there's always that one thing we never do count on 

You was born for it to happen to you 

He was on a motorcycle in a side car 

They was just outside of town, they hadn't ridden far 

Out to have a good time on a bike they built 

How was they to know it that night that he'd be killed? 

Oh, he lived his life of freedom 

Exactly the way that he wanted to 

But there's always that one thing we never do count on 

You was born for it to happen to you 

Oh, he lived his life of freedom 

Exactly the way that he wanted to 

But there's always that one thing we never do count on 

You was born for it to happen to you 

Yes, he lived his life of freedom 

Exactly the way that he wanted to 

But there's always that one thing we never do count on 

You was born for it to happen to you
