Jayber Crow - O My God When I Drop Dead lyrics

O my God when I drop dead, I hope and pray my final breath To feel the dirt and little bits of gra** The broken body on my tongue at last. Lord, I hope we don't come to meet While I still walk these city streets. My fingers pryin' with pavement cracks And all these strangers steppin' on my back. We will come and we will go Simplest thing there is to know Ev'rything that is is so from somewhere, somewhere. Lord, I'll give that final day— Please not on the Interstate. Those cars are movin' much too fast Missin' ev'rything they pa**. I'm gonna sit down familiar country roads Where ev'ry field I see is one I know— Lay me down and close my eyes Where the red-winged blackbird flies; Ev'rything that lives will die someday, someday. Save me here while I still breathe, Let the land embody me; No more pavement 'neath my feet, and I'll stay, I'll stay. O my God when I drop dead! O my God when I drop dead! O my God when I drop dead! O my God when I drop dead!
