Lyrics

[Verse 1] I might be dead Might be dead Might be dead By the time you hear this song I bring a knife to a fistfight But lately my baby bring her gun Yeah she's a cold hearted killer She'll play you out and just move on [Chorus] So if I'm dead If I'm dead If I'm dead By the time you hear this song Tell 'em I was strong to the bitter end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings And every word I said [Post-Chorus] Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived [Verse 2] I might be dead Might be dead Might be dead By the time the music stops And the only way you'll see me's in a casket or in a plastic box [Chorus] So if I'm dead If I'm dead If I'm dead By the time you hear this song Tell 'em I was strong to the bitter end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings And every word I said [Post-Chorus] Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em It was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived You tell 'em how I lived [Bridge] Let's get it straight I'll take your money but I Don't want your pity Don't need your sympathy I just need to know That all this running was for something (don't play me for a fool) I'll take your money but I (don't want your sympathy) Don't want your pity I just need to know That all this running That all this running was for something But maybe I'll never know [Chorus] Tell 'em I was strong to the beautiful end Tell 'em I believed on these six strings And every word I said Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em It was my greatest fault and my greatest gift And I died like a fool for it So tell 'em how I lived You tell 'em how I lived [Outro] Dead, might be dead By the time you hear this song I might be dead I bring a knife to a fistfight But lately my baby she bring a gun Dead, might be dead By the time you hear this song I might be dead Dead, might be dead and gone
