When I Die

When I die put that bottle in my hand
All these years on earth it was my only friend
When you dig a hole and gonna bury me
Put that bottle of Jim Beam to rest beside me
All my life I've been living on the run
Hanging out in bars and hotel rooms annoying everyone
Living on the road running from coast to coast
Spending many nights in jail like a gunman at his post

When I die you don't have to cry
You don't have to feel no feelings inside

Never cared or had no feelings for no one
The only one I cared for was the one who made me cum
Live my live like a loner on the trail
Some of the nights in jail I couldn't afford no bail
No one to call no one to see me through
So I bought a gun one day and I came gunning after you

Living on the road playing scumfuc rock 'n' roll
I'm on the road and I haven't got no home

Never lived nowhere long enough to call home
I'm just an outlaw scumfuc playing my rock 'n' roll
Never had nothing that could keep me satisfied
Except my booze and my drugs and that woman by my side
She was no woman but she's good enough for me
She's got that cunt between her legs and that's all I need
So when I die put that bottle by my side
Bury me with old Jim Beam and I'll be on my hellride

When I die, when I die
Down to hell is my final destination

When I die put that bottle by my side
It's the only friend I've had in life but it kept me satisfied
Living on the run you'll never take me out alive
I bought a gun I'm leaving now
Bye bye
Bye bye
