Bring My Flowers Now

Bring my flowers now while I'm livin'

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears or money on my own breathless body

If your heart is in them flowers bring 'em on

All the miles cast a long shadow

I'd take a couple back if I could

I done learned to play guitar, tell my daddy more I loved him

But I believe for the most part I done good

There's always sunrise and rainbows and babies

And the little things I cherish on my way

Even though one day they'll bury me and Jessie Ray

I just know we're gonna ride again someday

Bring my flowers now while I'm livin'

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears or money on my own breathless body

Well, if your heart is in them flowers bring 'em on

The days are long but the years are lightning

They're bright and they will never strike again

I wish I'd been a better friend, a better daughter to my mother

There's no goin' back when your back's against the wind

So if you've got love then you're sittin' on a gold mine

And you can't take it with you when you go

So don't wait to help your sister, forgive your brother and your neighbor

We all think we got the time until we don't

Bring my flowers now while I'm livin'

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears or money on my own breathless body

If your heart is in them flowers bring 'em on

If your heart is in them flowers bring 'em on
