[Verse 1] Girl I hate to hang out out to dry With a bleeding heart and broken home But I dropped this line to say goodbye You Should have saw it comin, guess I was born for runnin And I cant pay the debts I owe Theres many a man lookin for me I keep a pistol under my pillow Feel Im goin crazy, Ive been good for nothin lately [Chorus] Oh and when Im gone, I hope you mention my name I hope you care about the man After you place the blame Let our years turn to gold And never wither away and be forgotten I dont wanna be forgotten [Verse 2] Tell our boys that Im real proud I watched em grow up tough as nails An therell be no cryin allowed Theyll know what to do Im sure theyll take good care of you Kiss My baby girl goodbye Im sure shell miss me most of all I cant bare the thought of the tears shell cry Shes so sweet and tender, Lord I pray she will remember [Chorus] Oh and when Im gone, I hope youll mention my name I hope you care about the man After you place the blame Let our years turn to gold And never wither away and be forgotten I dont wanna be forgotten [Verse 3] Im takin the pick up truck, but I left a little bit of money No it aint to much but Itll get you through the month ahead I left my Browning Rifle and the old guitar my daddy gave me Put em up and pass em down Yeah, theyre all I have to give And maybe one day you can give em to my grandkids [Outro] I know its been hard lovin me Youve taken the scars and worn em well And youd starve yourself to feed this family Im sick and shameful, Im leavin an angel
