[Verse] The grim reaper's in town And he's knocking at my door I'll use my last bit of money to buy the liquor store Tell my mama not to worry now And tell my daddy not to cry I've been livin' on borrowed time And now it's my time to die [Chorus] Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? [Verse 2] Put my guitar inside the coffin And put my pride in there too Tell my baby to find a new man And tell my boy to be strong Tell him I loved him And please don't forget me when I'm gone [Chorus] Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? [Chorus] Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm dead and gone? [Bridge] God knows I wasn't perfect And I said long ago That I'm going out with a bang just to put on a show If I did anything and you see those tears in my eyes I'm sorry Y'all But it's time to say goodbye
