Only the Good Die Young (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 31, 1999) - Billy Joel

Come out Virginia don't let me wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate

Might as well be the one

Well they showed you a statue told you to pray

Built you a temple and locked you away

They never told you the price that you pay

For things that you might have done

Only the good die young

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd

We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud

We might be laughing a bit too loud

But that never hurt no one

So come on Virginia show me a sign

Send up a signal I'll throw you the line

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind

Never lets in the sun

Darling only the good die young

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

You got a nice white dress

And a party on your confirmation

You got a brand new soul

And a cross of gold

But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information

You didn't count on me

When you were counting on your rosary

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait

Some say it's better but I say it ain't

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints

The sinners are much more fun

Darling only the good die young

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

You say your mother told you all

That I could give you was a reputation

She never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me

Come out come out come out

Come out Virginia don't let me wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Sooner or later it comes down to fate

I want to be the one

Cause darling only the good die young

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Only the good
