What I'd Want Mine To Say

Yeah, hopefully my time ain't right around that bend

And I still got some good years down here left to live

I was thinkin' 'bout that stone they're gonna put up on my grave

Yeah, here's what I'd want mine to say

Yeah, here lies a proud of where he's from

Son of a hardworkin', God-fearin', straight-shootin' gun

That shirt on his back was always somethin' you could take

Yeah, right there, right under my name

I hope it says, "Damn good buddy

That sure loved his wife, and his truck stayed muddy

Till the day that he died"

And I hope that that rock's got a whole lot of space

'Cause here's what I'd want mine to say

Well, he sure raised some hell, but that ain't where he's goin'

His heart was on his sleeve, and his screen door was always open

And that preacher that'll be standin' there when they sing "Amazing Grace"

Yeah, here's what I'd want mine to say

Yeah, here lies a proud of where he's from

Son of a hardworkin', God-fearin', straight-shootin' gun

That shirt on his back was always somethin' you could take

Yeah, right there, right under my name

I hope it says, "Damn good buddy

That sure loved his wife, and his truck stayed muddy

Till the day that he died"

And I hope that that rock's got a whole lot of space

'Cause here's what I'd want mine to say

I hope I do it right

That dash between them dates

'Cause here's what I'd want mine to say

Yeah, here lies a proud of where he's from

Son of a hardworkin', God-fearin', straight-shootin' gun

That shirt on his back was always somethin' you could take

Yeah, right there, right under my last name

I hope it says, "Damn good buddy

That sure loved his wife, and his truck stayed muddy

Till the day that he died"

And I hope that that rock's got a whole lot of space

'Cause here's what I'd want mine to say

Yeah, that's what I want mine to say
