A Million Ways to Die — Alan Jackson Lyrics

A Million Ways to Die Song Lyrics

---

Cowboys and pioneers, come lend your eyes and ears.
I've got the need to testify.
Don't try to fill your nest out in the open west
'Cuz there's a million ways to die.

Six bullets in the gut or just a paper cut
Too many ways to quantify.
They'll cut your ankle off to cure a minor cough
'Cuz there's a million ways to die.
A million ways to die

It's a hundred and one in the shade of the sun.
If you fall asleep, you fry.
A million ways to die
You can live like a saint but there just really ain't
No avoiding a million ways to die.

Smallpox and bigger pox, and deadly tomahawks
Or god forbid you steal a pie.
They'll blast you into shards for bein' good at cards.
'Cuz there's a million ways to die.

Out on the desert plains it hardly ever rains
And you can hear coyotes cry.
They'll eat you up and then they'll sh*t you out again
'Cuz there's a million ways to die.
A million ways to die

With a whoosh and a whack there's a knife in your back
'Cuz you got a fancy tie...
A million ways to die
It's a kick in the pants but you don't have a chance
Of escaping a million ways to die.
A million ways to die
