Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bury me in my boots and don't forget the whiskey
Light a cigarette, girl, lean on in and kiss me
Send me on my way with some black roses
This is the path I've chosen and you can't go with me
[Verse 2]
I got a Bible Belt buckle on sin-washed old blue jeans
Little scripture, little liquor, sometimes a saint, sometimes mean
I'll always love you, baby, and so that you just better believe
But that pine box clock is a ticking down on me
When I go, I wanna go out in style
Baby, don't you cry, just
[Verse 3]
Bury me in my boots and don't forget the whiskey
Light a cigarette, girl, lean on in and kiss me
Send me on my way with some black roses
This is the path I've chosen and you can't go with me
[Verse 4]
My hour glass was always half-empty
It's bound to be the bottle or the bullet that bit me
So when I go, baby, you know just what to do
Bury me in my boots and don't forget the whiskey
[Verse 5]
Don't dress me up like I'm going out on Saturday night
Invite all my rowdy friends to party and holler goodbye, c'mon, fellas
When I'm walking into Heaven, I just wanna look down
And see a Hell of a party down South
[Verse 6]
So bury me in my boots and don't forget the whiskey
Light a cigarette, girl, lean on in and kiss me
Send me on my way with some black roses
This is the path I've chosen, no you can't go with me
[Verse 7]
My hour glass was always half-empty
It was bound to be the bottle or the bullet that bit me
So when I go, baby, you know just what to do
Bury me in my boots
[Verse 8]
Yeah
And don't forget the whiskey
[Verse 9]
Oh, we're all gonna go sometime, yeah
When I go, lay me down, lay me down in style
[Verse 10]
Bury me in my boots and don't forget the whiskey
Light a cigarette, girl, lean on in and kiss me
Send me on my way with some black roses
This is the path I've chosen, no you can't go with me
[Verse 11]
My hour glass was always half-empty
It was bound to be the bottle or the bullet that bit me
So when I go, baby, you know just what to do
Oh I said when I go, baby, you know just what to do
Bury me in my boots
And don't forget the whiskey
