lyrics

Gonna die with my boots on,
hat up on my head
not gonna go out layin' down - my grandpa died in bed
my grandpa died in bed

Going out with a hammer
pocket full of nails
Not gonna die like mine uncle - uncle died in jail
- mine uncle died in jail

Keep my eyes open
not turn my back
not gonna die like my friend Jim
drunk on the railroad tracks
drunk on the railroad tracks

******

If they catch me and put me in the ground
hope my soul ain't lost
I hope they have dig 3 holes, 3 feet through the frost
3 feet through the frost

Let the headstone read
when Im gone, when I'm gone
he didn't die in no hospital bed
he died with boots on
died with his boots on
died with his boots on
died with his boots on

_________

death's at my door
death's at my door
ain't gonna let him in
ain't gonna let him in

It ain't my time
It an't my time
It aint my time
to see the white lights take me home
