Lyrics

If I Was Dead It Wouldn't Matter, But I'm Not
Copyright 2002 - Chris Kendall

If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not!
I saw the flash, but I never heard the shot.
I know you're hopping I forgot.
If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not.

For all those years I tried to treat you right...
I came home to you most every night.
Bought you consignment clothes and black light works of art,
A two-bedroom mobile home at Jackson's Trailer Park.

I should have seen the signs as they began to come.
Hell.. I was even with you when you bought that gun.
The bullet missed my heart, but it sure hurt a lot
While I was layin' on the paramedics cot.....

If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not!
I saw the flash, but I never heard the shot.
I know you're hopping I forgot.
If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not.

(short instrumental)

I never really thought it would all come down to this.
But I won't press charges so you'll get your wish.
By the time I get discharged you'll be quite far away.
But you just might see me again someday!

There'll be a break-in at the new construction site.
They'll lose some blasting caps and sticks of dynamite.
The hurt you've done to me might leave a big ole scar.
But watch the pieces fly next time you start your car...

If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not!
I saw the flash, but I never heard the shot.
I know you're hopping I forgot.
If I was dead it wouldn't matter, but I'm not.
