When I Die

chorus:
when i die, lay me down at the stream
by the tree with the deepest roots
bury my body in blue jeans
and a pair of my leather boots

verse
maybe sing a song, maybe carry a rose
maybe listen for the wind on the day it blows
don't tell em you love me if you broke my heart
leave the flowers above me now don't tear them apart

chorus.

some days we had it easy, sometimes trouble too
honey i'd trade a good a day alone for a bad one with you
will you miss my dark cloud, my stormy state of mind
somebody's gotta roll that thunder in the sky

chorus.

take my guitar from the empty hall
don't let it hang from some rich mans wall
that piece of wood is how i learned to pray
just find some hands to play it everyday

take my body down main street
take me by my old school
toast my name at the bar where we used to shoot pool
take me past the graveyard where my family lay
i wanna be by the water on that final day.

chorus.
