Verse 1
Before I die
I'd like to do something nice
Take my hand and I'll take you for a ride
You hit me yesterday
Because I made you cry
So before we die let me do something nice
Chorus
I want to buy you something
But I don't have any money, no I don't have any money
I want to buy you something
but I don't have any money, no I don't have any money
Repeat [INTRO/RIFF]
Verse 2
And if I had a car
I would trade in my car
If I had a gun I would trade in my gun
Honey we ran from the country when we rushed to the city
And now there's nothing to be done
There's nothing to be done (x3)
Repeat [CHORUS] and [INTRO/RIFF] until end!
