Until The Day I Die — Steve Earle

Back in the hills when we were only kids

Love shined like a diamond in your eyes

I swore Id never hurt you - then I did

Now Im all alone with all my lies

I promised that Id never be untrue

Id never make you cry

The only promise that I didnt break

Was to love you until the day I die

I wish Id never seen those city lights

A sight for a country boy to see

For every one that you see shinin bright

Another is burnin out like me

I wouldnt listen though you told me dear

I couldnt see the lie

But all the same I still love you tonight

And Ill love you until the day I die

They built this prison just for fools like me

Who dont know a treasure from a stone

I killed a man now I wont ever see

The green rollin hills where I was born

No I wont ever see your face again

But if I close my eyes

I can almost hear you call me back to then

And Ill love you until the day I die
