Hand Over Head

[Verse 1]
When she flew into town
Her feet never met the ground
But I saw her face
Like a bright, proud flower
But something around the eyes
Shadows that put the lie to her laughing voice
And those brave, brave words

[Chorus]
Some of us live too hard
And some of us die too young
And some are destroyed by
All they might have done

[Verse 2]
I knew a man long ago
A hermit who held no hope
In his withered heart
Or his sad, sad eyes
He lived a life of counterfeit
Pretending his life was sweet
Let others take chances
He was too afraid to make

[Chorus]
Some of us live too hard
And some of us die too young
And some are destroyed by
All they might have done

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Some of us live too hard
And some of us die too young
Some are destroyed by
All they might have done

[Verse 3]
And she flew out again
Waved to the crowd and then
Hand over head
She was gone

[Chorus]
Some of us live too hard
And some of us die too young
And some are destroyed by
What they might have done
