lyrics

Dear darlin' do please tell
Do you think I'll go to heaven or hell
Or someplace else
When I'm dead and gone?

I don't wanna let this good life go
I don't wanna leave you all alone
I don't wanna call the dirt my home
When I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone.

And I don't know where I came from
And I don't even know exactly where I been
But I'll whisper in your ear
I wanna stay here
I got nothing but fear
For where I'm going when I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone.



Who'll wear my boots and cry
At the moon in the summer in the night
In the summer in the night
When I'm dead and gone?

Who'll wear the moonlight on my face
Or remember the old things we used to say
Who'll get down on my knees and pray
When I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone?

Well it's a struggle today
And tomorrow's just more of the same
But don't let me in a hearse
It could always be worse
If life's a blessing or a curse
I'll find out when I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone.


Who'll hear your breath at night
Who'll walk you to your bed when yer tired
And turn out the lights
When I'm dead and gone?

Death'll take my life like it's his to steal
I won't even get to tell you how I feel
So I'll say my last words I'll say 'em right here
For when I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone.

Death if you hear me, take me slow
So I can tell her that I love her so
And if there's things I haven't said
Let me get 'em out my head
Before I find me dead
It'll be too late when I'm dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone.
