Dead and Gone

See I've never understood this life And what it wanted from me I'll always love you No matter how far you are from me When I'm dead and gone, will you remember me All we've been through, I'm sorry Dear Mom, I'm sorry I was wild I'm sorry my heart was restless Dare devil on the way to juvenile I wasn't threatened by the sentence All that could change by the strength of a knot The length of a sheet all the way from the top I'll break free, so that was my plot I couldn't see, what I was doing so wrong I always knew I'd never reach twenty one I'm glad it didn't happen by the hand of a gun Never expected it to happen when I did what I love Riding with my girl, I'm glad it wasn't my son I hope I didn't let you down Smile on your face when I come around And though I wasn't perfect, no more suffering now Sincerely, your oldest son, above with the clouds See I've never understood this life And what it wanted from me I'll always love you No matter how far you are from me When I'm dead and gone, will you remember me All we've been through, I'm sorry Dear Sis, I'm sorry I was distant I'm sorry I was so lost I'm sorry I was shady acting crazy Doing things I knew were wrong But you knew me, you knew who I was I was your brother always riding with my leather jacket on Leaving three little girls behind So they would miss me were not the intentions that I want But don't be mad you didn't stop that day That's why I passed by in your dream telling you it's okay I'm glad I got to see Mom, before it happened Had the best time together and that was magic Don't be sad, don't cry no more Maybe something told me it was time to go Our brother joined us, he wanted to tell you q vo Tell all of the family no more funerals See I've never understood this life And what it wanted from me I'll always love you No matter how far you are from me When I'm dead and gone When I'm dead and gone When I'm dead and gone
