Lyrics

dead and gone

when you?re dead, when you?re gone
somebody?s going to carry on
and everything?s going to move along
as sure as the rhythm in a railroad song
when you?re dead, when you?re dead and gone

when I die, don?t you cry
just bury me
and tell anyone who might remember
I?m history
forget all about the ways I was
and if they ask why tell them because

when you?re dead??..

getting through life is a worrysome thing
you worry ?bout the money for a diamond ring
you worry ?bout joy, you worry ?bout sorrow
you worry will she still love you tomorrow
and when you?re done worrying
you worry some more
about what they?re worrying about next door

when you?re dead???..

I got me a girl I love her so
every day I love her more
sometimes it all seems a terrible muddle
we kiss, we curse, we fight and we cuddle
and keep on going through right and wrong
?cause its too late when you?re dead and gone

when you?re dead???
