Played too hard and he died too young
|
To be certain of earning his [burnt out/word of?] love
|
He won a place in history
|
And his name will live eternally
|
|
Lived the life of a movie star
|
And he waved to the people from a big black car
|
Down in a book with the greatest names
|
As a lonely maid cried take [in/the?] pain
|
|
Tell me a story minister
|
There ain't no time left to lose
|
|
Ten man tried in the dead of night
|
??? the great man's final words to right
|
In a room that was soft and red
|
The great man spoke outside my head
|
|
Tell me a story minister
|
There ain't no time left to lose
|
