Lyrics
If I die on the old bay mare, please just leave me sitting there, I'll ride her like a ghost until we both let go. And if I die on the old back porch, light it up like a tiki torch, a funeral pyre for a friend you always loved. And if I die in your warm arm, think of how you used your charms to bring me back to life so long ago. And let me go and let me be, i'm looking for my resurrection. Next time I'll change my direction. and let me go and let me be, I'm looking for my resurrection. Next time I'll change the world you'll see. If I die walking in the hills, looking for those quiet thrills. Let me rest alone among the pines. and if I die looking to the sky, please don't reach to close my eyes. I'm looking upwards for that golden light. and if I die poor and unknown, please don't think of what I've done, raise a glass and think good thoughts of me. Let me go and let me be, i'm heading down that road for good, let me wander in the cottonwoods. and let me go and let me be, I'm heading down that road for good, next time I'll change the world you'll see. Let me go and let me be, I'm looking for my resurrection, next time i'll change my direction. let me go and let me be I'm looking for my resurrection. Next time I'll change the world you'll see. If I die. If I die on the old bay mare.
