[Verse 1]
I hope they find my King James Bible
Worn around the edges, and opened to the Book of John
And my favorite picture we made together
Down by Mill Creek when you were just twenty-one
[Verse 2]
I hope they're laying there beside your old love letters
The ones that read just like a song
I hope they find more good than bad
When I'm good and gone
[Verse 3]
I hope my babies make good neighbors
The kind you know that are never gonna let ya down
And I hope they teach their sons and daughters the things
I taught 'em while I was still around
[Verse 4]
And when they lay me down I hope the sun is shining
And there's lots of flowers and that line of cars is long
Because they found more good than bad
When I'm good and gone
[Chorus]
I ain't leaving here today as far as I can see
I got a list of things I plan on getting to
Oh but how and when I leave this ol' world ain't up to me
So when the good Lord says my time on earth is through
[Verse 5]
I hope He finds more good than bad
I hope He finds my King James Bible
Worn around the edges, and opened to the Book of John
