I'd Rather Die Happy

I sat myself down Tuesday

Wrote myself a song

Just things I want to say

About what is wrong

But all of my complaining

Well, it comes to no avail

And things I really need to say

I've yet to learn myself

Ah but, I won't cry, no

And I won't wail, no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over, it's over

So, I wrote myself a letter

And I sent it off to you

To make myself feel better -

I tried to tell the truth

I wrote a song for Jesus Christ

And one for Noah's Ark

I sang a song for morning light,

And I still sat in the dark

But, I won't cry, no

And I won't wail, no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over, it's over

So I accept I can't do nothing

Do nothing at all

I see myself, a big long road

And I build myself a wall

I dig myself a tunnel

So I could get on under

And join the rest of the human race

Just ask why and wonder

But, I won't cry, no

And I won't wail, no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over, it's over

And when it's over, it's over

It's over, it's over
