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
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
Yeah, it was my greatest fault and my greatest gift
And I died like a fool for it
So tell 'em how I lived
I might be dead, might be dead, might be dead
By the time the music stops
And the only way you'll see me
Is in a casket or in a plastic box
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
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
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
All this running was for something
But maybe I'll never know
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
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
