Killed Myself When I Was Young Lyrics
Killed myself when I was young
With my fingers on a poison gun
'Cause I had to come back new
Wanna walk on the ocean blue
And I'm gonna leave this town
With the people all tumbling down
And my boots on the diamond road
Behind such a heavy load
And I will come back someday
If I do not lose my way
Don't weep, my girl so true
Let the train whistle cry for you
With my fingers on a poison gun
'Cause I had to come back new
Wanna walk on the ocean blue
With the people all tumbling down
And my boots on the diamond road
Behind such a heavy load
If I do not lose my way
Don't weep, my girl so true
Let the train whistle cry for you

It's about the choices one makes, and the consequences of those choices that one must live with once made. For details, please see Tim Riggins's character in season 4 of "Friday Night Lights."
