[Verse] The old man was a good man he raised his children right He taught us how to work hard and showed us how to fight Told me about the good Lord and when to use a gun Made me very proud of where it is that I come from [Chorus] When I die put my father in the big same urn Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar [Verse] Years a row nobody, the old man turned me loose Way cross town I learned about those sad ol' country blues Taught me how to prep my heart from trying to make it right
Told me not to ever break one alone at a time [Chorus] When I die put my father in the big same urn Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar [Bridge] Hope you have me on your memory like a painted old tattoo I might not make a history book but I'll burn a page or two Yeah [Chorus] When I die put my father in the big same urn Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar
