Come out Vir-gin-ia, don't let me wait
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
aw But soon-er or lat-er it
comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
well, They showed you a sta-tue,
told you to pray
They built you a tem-ple
and locked you a-way
Aw, but they nev-er told you
the price that you pay
The things that you might have done.
For on-ly the good die young
thats what I said
on-ly the good die young
on-ly the good die young
You might have heard
I run with a dan-ger-ous crowd
We ain't too pret-ty we ain't too proud
We might be laugh-ing a bit too loud
But that nev-er hurt no one
So come on Vir-gin-ia show me a sign
Send up a sig-nal I'll throw you the line
That stained-glass cur-tain you're
hid-ing be-hind
Nev-er lets in the sun
Darl-in' on-ly the good die young
woah
on-ly the good die young
on-ly the good die young
You got a nice white dress
and a par-ty on your con-fir-ma-tion
You got a brand new soul
And a cross of gold
But Vir-gin-ia they did-n't give you
quite e-nough in-for-ma-tion
You did-n't count on me
When you were count-ing on your ro-sa-ry
(oh woah woah)
And they say there's a hea-ven
for those who will wait
Some say it's bet-ter but I say it ain't
I'd rath-er laugh with the sin-ners
than cry with the saints
the sin-ners are much more fun
you know that on-ly the good die young
That's what I say
On-ly the good die young,
On-ly the good die young,
Said your moth-er told you
all I could give you was a rep-u-ta-tion
She nev-er cared for me
But did she ev-er say a prayer for me?
oh woah woah
Come out come out Vir-gin-ia
don't let me wait,
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
Soon-er or lat-er it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
You know that on-ly the good die young
That's what I say
You know that only the good die young
On-ly the good die young,
On-ly the good die young,
