Intro :
I will not go down under the ground
' Cause somebody tells me that d eath's coming 'round
A nd I w ill not carry myself down to die
W hen I go to my grave my h ead will be high
L et me d ie in my f ootsteps befo re I g o down u nder the g round
T here's been rumors of war and wars that have been
T he meaning of life has been l ost in the wind
A nd s ome people thinkin' that the end is close by
' Stead of learning to live they are l earning to die
L et me d ie in my f ootsteps befo re I g o down u nder the g round
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see
W hen someone is pulling the w ool over me
A nd if t his war comes and death's all around
L et me die on this land 'fore I d ie underground
L et me d ie in my f ootsteps befo re I g o down u nder the g round
T here's always been people that have to cause fear
T hey've been talkin' about a war now for m any long years
I 've re ad all their statements and I've not said a word
B ut now Lord God let my p oor voice be heard
L et me d ie in my f ootsteps befo re I g o down u nder the g round
L et me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood
L et the smell of wild flowers flow f ree through my blood
L et me s leep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
L et me walk down the highway with my b rother in peace
L et me d ie in my f ootsteps befo re I g o down u nder the g round
G o out in your country where the land meets the sun
S ee the craters and the canyons and where the w aterfalls run
N evad a New Mexico Arizona Idaho
L et every state in this union see deep d own in its soul
A nd you'll d ie in your f ootsteps befo re you g o down u nder the g round
