[Verse 1] If I die, don’t cry too long Leave my coat by the door Let the rain tap out my song On the old front porch Tell my mama I kept my word Even when it hurt I tried to be a good man With a broke-down heart [Pre-Chorus] And if the sky goes black Don’t follow me there Keep your hands on the wheel Keep your face to the air I’ll be gone, I know But I won’t be far Just a name in the dust And a beat in your heart [Chorus] If I die, let me go Let me go, let me go If I die, let me go Keep my song in your bones If I die, don’t you break Hold the line, hold the line If I die, let me go I’m still yours in time [Verse 2] If I die, wash the front steps When the summer comes in Plant some marigolds Where my boots sunk in Give my dog that red ball Let him run like he won Put the cracked glass photo Back where it begun [Pre-Chorus] And if the sky goes black Don’t follow me there Keep your hands on the wheel Keep your face to the air I’ll be gone, I know But I won’t be far Just a name in the dust And a beat in your heart [Chorus] If I die, let me go Let me go, let me go If I die, let me go Keep my song in your bones If I die, don’t you break Hold the line, hold the line If I die, let me go I’m still yours in time [Bridge] If I die on a Thursday In the middle of the week Promise me you’ll still laugh At the mess I used to make No grand words, no gold Just your hand in the light And the life I left behind Still burning on tonight [Final Chorus] If I die, let me go Let me go, let me go If I die, let me go Keep my song in your bones If I die, don’t you break Hold the line, hold the line If I die, let me go I’m still yours in time
