lyrics

When I'm dead oh when I'm dead
I'll be gone I'll be gone
when I'm dead and when I'm gone
all that's left of me is gonna be my song

You can bury me
most anywhere
I don't care
in the mountains
or by the sea
it don't matter just don't matter
to me

When I'm dead oh when I'm dead
I'll be gone I'll be gone
when I'm dead and when I'm gone
All that's left of me is gonna be my song
so if you
feel so compelled
to sing it please just see
that it's sung well

You can send my soul
on down below
far as it goes
to the deepest
pit in hell
ain't no storm that I can't weather
and weather well

When I'm dead oh when I'm dead
I'll be gone I'll be gone
when I'm dead and when I'm gone
all that's left of me is gonna be my song
so if you
feel so compelled
to sing it please just see
that it's sung well

How and when I die
ain't half as important to me
as how I live my life
and the virtues
I uphold
are more important to me
than any story I've been told
