when i die
don't cry
don't sigh
don't even say goodbye

just bury me
spread my dust
if you must
out along the highway

& just say

he lived
he died
he tried
he cried
he laughed
he lied
he danced
hell, the old fool
pranced
ta' the end

god
this fool
never had a chance

so throw my ashes
to the wind
send my soul
ta' the end
of the trail
there in the bushes
they must be quail
so set my sail
on the highways ocean
let my life be
emotion & feeelin'
& dealin
wheelin round
try ta find thaT Sound
i ain't heard yet
you can bet
if i hear it in heaven
or if i hear it in hell
that sound will be the spell
i been searchin' for

& what's death
ta' this old man
compared ta' what he's felt
compared ta' the hand's he's been dealt

just when i die
don't ask why
don't cry

just say goodbye
to an old friend

send
me on
ta' hesven
or ta' hell

hell,
ain't no way ta' tell
where ya're goin'
hard ta' know where ya' been
livin' life aint' no sin

so send me on my way
say
adios amgios
goodbye old friend

yeah be a friend
do that for me
in the end
