Lyrics

When I’m dead, don’t you worry your pretty little head
There might be days you’re feeling down
Then why don’t you listen to my songs?
And if you hear between the lines, you’ll get a glimpse into my mind
When I’m dead, I’ll be by your side

When I’m gone [WHEN HE’S GONE],
And I’m a solid six feet under the ground [UNDER THE GROUND]
Don’t let the sadness get to you [DON'T LET IT, IT’S LIFE],
Listen to one of my tunes or two [OR THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE]
And if you make it past the rock and roll
you’ll get a peak into my soul
when I’m gone [WHEN HE'S GONE], I’ll be by your side [BY YOUR SIDE]

WHEN YOU’RE DYING THERE’S NO LYING,
YOU ARE FRIGHTENED AND FEEL LIKE SOBBING
BUT WHEN YOU’RE DEAD, DON’T FRET, YOU’RE ALL SET
IT IS THOSE YOU LEAVE BEHIND
WHO NEED THE LOVING AND THE HOPE
AND SOME HELP TO GET OUT OF BED

When I’m dust [WHEN HE'S DUST] and you’re the sole executor of my trust
[EXECUTOR OF HIS TRUST]
You will find me in my words [IN HIS WORDS]
You will find me in my chords [IN HIS CHORDS]
You will find me in our children, in our home and in my chickens
When I’m dust [WHEN HE’S BUSTED],
I'll be by your side [HE’LL BE BY YOUR SIDE]
