Lyrics
[Chorus]
If I die young, bury, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
[Chorus]
If I die young, bury, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
[Verse 1]
Now this is dedicated to the ones that lost they lives a little too early
To the families out there still in pain, I know that y'all still hurtin'
Losing loved ones, young daughters and sons no longer with us
To the soldiers overseas never comin' home to they families
We grieve, but it really don't get no better
Their candle went out too soon
So much to live for still, just built the baby's room
Last year, he was the groom
And now his soul is set free but still alive in your mind when you lay down to sleep
They never really gone, take time like Cash said
They livin' in our hearts, I know it, I can feel 'em there
They looking down upon us, guiding us through all the struggles
Helpin' us to find all the pieces of the puzzle, yeah
The pain's double when it's someone so young
But they gon' live through us so they can see how it's done
Yeah, all the tears and the fun and everything in between
We raise a glass in the air for the ones no longer seen, uh
[Chorus]
If I die young, bury, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
[Verse 2]
Yeah, now I can't understand why the Lord is takin' these kids
So many kidnappings and murders right here, around where I live
Let alone the rest of the world, my heart goes out to that girl
So R.I.P., little Kaylee, how could this happen to a baby?
I get so sick of this place, but I try to focus on the good
But it's hard when you lose someone way sooner than you probably should
If I could, I'd take all the pain away
No more funerals or visitin' cemeteries on holidays
I just wanna drift away from all the pain that we feelin'
Man, it's been ten years since Chris died, I'm still healin'
One of the first dudes to push me in this rappin'
I'll never forget we shed so many tears, so tragic
You and your brother passin', how could this happen? You still here though
Every time I'm layin' down a track, man, I gotta keep it crackin', I know this was your dream
I do it for the ones that are no longer seen, uh
[Bridge]
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
[Chorus]
If I die young, bury, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
[Chorus]
If I die young, bury, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
