If I Die Young (feat. The Band Perry)

If I die young

Bury bury me in satin satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love songlove song

Now, this is dedicated

To the ones that lost they lives

A little to early

To the families out there still in pain

I know that yall still hurtin

Losin loved ones

Young daughters and sons

No longer with us

To the souljas overseas

Neva comin home to they families

We grieve but it really don't get no better

Their candle went out too soon

So much to live for still

Just built the baby's room

Last year he was the groom

And now his should is set free

But still alive in your mind

When u lay down to sleepdown to sleep

They never really gone

Take time like cash said

They livin in our hearts

I know it I can feel em there

They lookin down upon us

Guidin us through all the struggles

Helpin us to find

All the pieces of this puzzle

Yeah

The pains double when it's

Someone so young

But they goin live through us

So they can see how it's done

Yea all the tears and the fun

And everything in between

We raise a glass in the air

For the ones no longer seen

If I die young

Bury bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Life ain't always what you

Think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey

But she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, wellsharp knife of a short life, well

Now I cant understand

Why the lord is taken there kids

So many kidnappings and murders

Right here around my where I live

Let alone the rest of the world

My heart goes out to that girlthat girl

So rip little Caylee

How could this happen to a baby

I get so sick of this place

But I try to focus on the good

But it's hard when you lose someone

Way sooner than you probably should

If I could I'd take

All the pain away

No more funerals or visitin

Cemetarys on holidays

I just wanna drift away

From all the pain that we feelin

Man it's been 10 years since

Chris died I'm still healin

One of the first dudes to

Push me in this rappin

I'll neva forget

We shed so many tears

So tragic

You and your brother passin

How could this happen

You still here though

Everytime I layin down a track man

I gotta keep it crackin

I know that was ya dream

I do it for the ones that are no longer seen

The sharp knife of a short

Life, well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words

Of a love song
