"Legends" lyrics

Casey Donahew Lyrics

"Legends"

I grew up in this small town
On dirt roads, I'd spend my nights
Drinkin' shine and raisin' hell
And runnin' from the lights
And every cop, they knew my name
From the first day I was born
Angels on my shoulders
But the devil had me torn

Now it's smoke and fire and gunshots
And there's whiskey on my breath
I've had many talks with Jesus
Turns out I'm not scared to death
But if my days are numbered
Well, there ain't no need to cry
'Cause heroes get remembered, baby
But legends never die

Some men may love one woman
But I try to love 'em all
The higher that you climb up, baby
The further that you fall
I was runnin' out the back door
I left no stone unturned
With hands of steel, I played with flames
And never did get burned

Now it's smoke and fire and gunshots
And there's whiskey on my breath
I've had many talks with Jesus
Turns out I'm not scared to death
But if my days are numbered
Well, there ain't no need to cry
'Cause heroes get remembered, baby
But legends never die

Some say death is the beginning
Some say you only live one life
That old man at the pearly gates
Is gonna be surprised
I'll get there twisted up and broken
Breathin' fire and I'll be tokin'
Shiftin' gears, hell, I ain't scared
Dual pipes and they'll be smokin'

Now it's smoke and fire and gunshots
And there's whiskey on my breath
I've had many talks with Jesus
Turns out I'm not scared to death
But if my days are numbered
Well, there ain't no need to cry
'Cause heroes get remembered, baby
But legends never die
Heroes get remembered
But legends never die
