You Can Bet I'm Gone

This ole world is a funny ole place
 We're always running from place to place
 You work and slave to try to ease your mind
 The very things you strive for, you gotta leave behind
 What I know so far, near as I can tell
 Heaven's here on earth and the soul is it
 Just the air we're given and the stars above
 You can measure your riches by the ones you love
 When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone
 When a lonesome freight-train whistle blows its weary song
 When I see the light of a brand new dawn
 When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone
 When I die, don't toll no bells
 Just put my ashes in some shotgun shells
 Get all of my friends some windy day
 To say goodbye and watch me blow away
 When the wind dies down and the day gets late
 I'll be all scattered all over the state
 And you know which state I'm talking about
 The place I love and can't live without
 When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone
 When a lonesome freight-train whistle blows its weary song
 When I see the light of a brand new dawn
 When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone
 When I say goodbye, you can bet I'm gone
