VERSE 1 My mate said don't get on that horse, he's made a fool of better men than you But I was young and foolish not to mention being stubborn like a mule One second I was in the air, next I was feet up kissin' dirt Through the haze I heard a voice say 'Bring a doctor I think the boy is hurt' Doctor, the light is growing dim And I've heard it calling from the other side Doctor there's so much I haven't done And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky's eyes Oh Doctor I'm too young to die VERSE 2 They took me to a shady spot and the Doctor took one look and softly spoke 'There's really nothing I can do, bring his Mother I think his back is broke' It was then I heard a voice say something about a good for nothing son Why'd you go and do a thing like that bring the preacher I think his time has come REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3 Then darkness fell around me and up ahead the pearly gates came into view Saint Peter said 'Hey cowboy c'mon in, we've been expecting you' CHORUS 2 But I said Doctor the light is growing dim and I've heard a calling from the other side Doctor there's so much I haven't done And there's that sparkle that I've seen in Becky's eyes But I said Doctor the light is growing dim Doctor there's so much I haven't done Doctor I'm too young to die
