Lyrics

[Verse 1] Girl I hate to hang out out to dry With a bleeding heart and broken home But I dropped this line to say goodbye You Should have saw it comin', guess I was born for runnin' And I can't pay the debts I owe There's many a man lookin for me I keep a pistol under my pillow Feel I'm goin' crazy, I've been good for nothin' lately [Chorus] Oh and when I'm gone, I hope you mention my name I hope you care about the man After you place the blame Let our years turn to gold And never wither away and be forgotten I don't wanna be forgotten [Verse 2] Tell our boys that I'm real proud I watched 'em grow up tough as nails An there'll be no cryin' allowed They'll know what to do I'm sure they'll take good care of you Kiss My baby girl goodbye I'm sure she'll miss me most of all I can't bare the thought of the tears she'll cry She's so sweet and tender, Lord I pray she will remember [Chorus] Oh and when I'm gone, I hope you'll mention my name I hope you care about the man After you place the blame Let our years turn to gold And never wither away and be forgotten I don't wanna be forgotten [Verse 3] I'm takin the pick up truck, but I left a little bit of money No it ain't to much but It'll get you through the month ahead I left my Browning Rifle and the old guitar my daddy gave me Put 'em up and pass 'em down Yeah, they're all I have to give And maybe one day you can give 'em to my grandkids [Outro] I know its been hard lovin me You've taken the scars and worn 'em well And you'd starve yourself to feed this family I'm sick and shameful, I'm leavin an angel
