I Ain't Afraid Of Dying Lyrics - John Anderson

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
