Answer
Hello Pat,

Do you mean this one.......

"LIVE UNTIL I DIE"
Recorded by CLAY WALKER in 1993

Skippin' rocks, skippin' rope
Laughin' at all my best friends' jokes
Things I love when I was a kid

Muddy roads, muddy feet
I didn't live on no black top street
Things have changed a lot but I never did

I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

Livin' right, livin' in
This little old town I grew up in
But I still held on to my dreams

Standin' proud, standin' tall
Standin' smack dab in the middle of it all
I don't worry a'bout things that I can't change

And I don't wanna think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

And everything  around me
Are things I dearly love
And every night i get on my knees
And thank the Lord above

That I don't hafta think about tomorrow
I don't need anything money can buy
I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die

I don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
I just wanna live until I die


Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.

Expertise

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
