Biography:
Dallas-based American singer-songwriter Max Stalling never expected to be a full-time country and western musician. After earning his college degree from Texas A&M in food science, he worked for Rainbo Bread and Frito Lay. But following the critically lauded and audience-proven successes of his first three CDs, Comfort In The Curves in 1997, Wide Afternoon in 2000, and One Of The Ways in 2002, he traded his lab coat for cowboy boots and has been touring ever since - performing at more than 150 honky tonks and smoky dancehalls each year.

If Only The Good Die Young

[Intro]
G G C C
C
I was driving just last week
Dm
Out west where it's wide open
G
When out in a hot plowed field
A dust devil clicked his heels
C
And headed for the road
When we intersected
Dm
This little whirlwind and me
G
It sure shook me good
And as it blew cross my hood
C
It reminded me of life
[Chorus]
C F
If only the good die young
C Am
I might live forever, I guess
G
Caught up on the wind
Around and round again
C
Just trying to do my best
C
I've been trying to go to church, some
Dm
But I keep getting intercepted
G
By the ball game on TV
Or a Zebco 303
C
Didn't Peter fish for men?
[Chorus]
C F
And if only the good die young
C Am
I might live forever, I guess
G
Casting all about
Trying to figure it all out
C
Just trying to do my best
[Instrumental]
C C F F C C Am G G G G G C
F F C Am G C G C
C
There are thing that I have done
Dm
And I think I've learned my lessons
G
But I'd sure hate to get asked
To stand up in class
C
And explain to everyone
[Chorus]
C F
Why if only the good die young
C
I have lived forever
G
I'll be stuck here after school
Wondering what to do
C
Wondering where is everyone?
[Chorus]
C F
Ohhh, and if only the good die young
C
Well, we might live forever
G
It'll just be me and you
Stuck here in this pew
C
Wondering, Lord, what have we done?
[Chorus]
C F
If only the good die young
C Am
I might live forever, I guess
G
Caught up on the wind
Round and round again
C G Am G C
Just trying to do my best
