Die With a Smile on Your Face Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Word on the street, is that you won't be back
Left at a quarter to three
Lone on a Greyhound, you headed west
And just couldn’t take it no more
People were asking where did you go
No one could understand you
Born like no other, you just didn't fit
They couldn't make you like them

[Pre-Chorus]
High like a kite in the wind
There were no question that you would win
Never surrender and do it your way
Break every rule in the book

[Chorus]
When you know who you are
And you be who you are
Then no one can hurt you
Or stand in your way
When you live like you want
And do as you please
You can die with a smile on your face

[Verse 2]
Highway to freeway, city to town
You kept your wheels rollin’ on
Nothing could hold you, never looked back
The fire just burned in your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
People, they come and they go
Too many faces you know
Been there and done that, paying the price
But never a tear in your eyes

[Chorus]
When you know who you are
And you be who you are
Then no one can hurt you
Or stand in your way
When you live like you want
And do as you please
You can die with a smile on your face

[Verse 3]
Somewhere but nowhere, nomads end up
Turn off their motor for good
In the shade of an old tree, you found your peace
And died with a smile on your face
And died with a smile on your face
And died with a smile on your face
