When I'm Gone

Ain't no sleep

When I'm gone

I've walked these roads, worn and weary

Faced my share of joy and strife

I've had storms and sunshine hit me

That's how I learned the dance of life

From the fields where I was raised

To the concrete beneath them city lights

Every step and road I paved

Run between my wrongs and rights

When I'm gone, don't y'all forget me

Save your tears and if you miss me

Thank the Lord I finally found my way back home

Have a good time, grab a whiskey

Pour it tall, light up a memory

Lift your spirits here on with me all night long

While I'm here, I'll make my peace

Yeah, y'all know I'll get no sleep when I'm gone

Ain't no sleep

Ain't no sleep

To my family and my friends

You were always by my side

Hell nah, this ain't no bitter end

Just a short and sweet goodbye

When I'm gone, don't y'all forget me

Save your tears and if you miss me

Thank the Lord I finally found my way back home

Have a good time, grab a whiskey

Pour it tall, light up a memory

Lift your spirits here on with me all night long

While I'm here, I'll make my peace

Yeah, y'all know I'll get no sleep when I'm gone

Ain't no sleep

Ain't no sleep

Ain't no sleeping when I'm gone

But it ain't goodbye for forever, love

Nah, look to the sky

I'll be casting lines in paradise

Singing in the angels choir

When I'm gone, don't y'all forget me

But save your tears and if you miss me

Thank the Lord I finally found my way back home

Have a good time, grab a whiskey

Pour it tall, light up a memory

Lift your spirits here on with me all night long

While I'm here, I'll make my peace

Yeah, y'all know I'll get no sleep when I'm gone

Ain't no sleep

When I'm gone

Yeah, there ain't no sleep for me, hell nah

When I'm gone
