Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the day I die
You better dance, don't cry
'Cause, baby, I'll be leavin' on a high
On the day I die
Find the keys to my old car
Pray it starts and take it for a drive
[Verse 2]
Roll the windows down
Turn the music up, I start singing, yeah
(Woah, woah)
Get lost in a song
And take the wrong road home
Like I always used to
[Verse 3]
If I did one thing right
It was you and I
Oh, I loved you
I'll always love you
So, play it loud all night
If I'm not by your side
I'm up above you
I'll always love you
I've had a good, good life
So, darlin', dance, don't cry
On the day I die
[Verse 4]
On the day I die
I want nothin' left unspoken
I can't rely on hopin' that you know
So, dry your eyes
'Cause I don't plan on dyin' yet
Just take my hand
How I lucky I am
The only life I get
[Verse 5]
I get to hold you close
With the lights down low
And dance real slow
(Woah, woah)
And when you hear this song
When I'm gone
I know that you'll know
[Verse 6]
If I did one thing right
It was you and I
Oh, I loved you
I'll always love you
So, play it loud all night
If I'm not by your side
I'm up above you
I'll always love you
I've had a good, good life
So, darlin', dance, don't cry
On the day I die
On the day I die (Whoah, oh yeah)
(Whoah, and then I'm gone, whoah)
On the day, on the day I die, oh (Woah, woah)
(Woah, woah)
[Verse 7]
On the day I die
You better dance, don't cry
Oh, baby, I'll be leavin' on a high
On the day I die
