My Song Will Never Die

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a beat comin' from somewhere other than my chest There's words that stir up dust in the peace that I will rest A melody to ease the mind long after I've lost mine I will, but my song will never die [Verse 2] I don't know the day, I don't know the time But one day, my Bonnie ain't gonna have her Clyde And I know I'll be leaving somewhere further down the line I will, but my song will never die [Chorus] When I hear that Hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die [Verse 3] True words are rare birds, they heal up broken hearts They sing through rusty strings on beat up old guitars The notes are always changin' but truth stands the test of time I will, but my song will never die [Chorus] When I hear that Hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] When my name ain't nothing more than just letters on a stone Or flowers in a field full of other sinners gone It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die [Chorus] When I hear that Hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die [Outro] Oh, I will, but my song will never die
