When I'm Gone

There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone

I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone

And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone

And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone

Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone

And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone

I can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone

And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone

I can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And all my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone

And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone

Can't add my name to the fight while I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone

And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone

Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And there's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone

I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone

You won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it

I guess I'll have to do it

I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
