Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

If I Die

If I die a-drinking I won't feel much pain

'Cause what we've all got demons that drive us all insane

I'll die just like my daddy with a bottle in my hand

So If I die a-drinkin' that's just who I am

If I die a-cheatin' at the arms of another's girl

In a fit of rage and jealousy he takes me from this world

I can't say I'd blame him I'd probably do the same

And if I die a-cheatin' I'll deal with the shame

If I die a-singin' some old lonesome song

We're all drawn to heartache when someone's done you wrong

The last song I'll be playing When the Saints Go Marching In

If I die a-signin' my song will never end

If I die a-prayin' to Jesus on my knees

Everyone I've ever loved will be waiting there for me

The church can have my body but the Lord he owns my soul

So if I die a-prayin' I ain't afraid to go

If I die a-prayin' I ain't afraid to go
