When I'm Gone

A lot of girlfriends broke up with me, I made it easy for them to do
 But I broke up with a lot of them, maybe even broke a heart or two
 Well I straight-up quit a whole lot of jobs, got fired from some too
 Hung my hat in a whole lot of places, seemed I was always on the move
 You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I'm gone
 You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
 You can sigh about how little I tried when I'm gone
 Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
 And maybe you'll remember this here song
 Maybe you'll listen and sing along
 When I'm gone
 I've cheated, lied and stolen
 Should've learned more than a lesson or two
 Tried to poison, torture and destroy myself
 But every time I tried I'd lose
 My big mouth got me in big trouble
 Had more than my share of the blues
 Did as little as possible to get by
 Made it a challenge to coast and cruise
 You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I'm gone
 You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
 You can sigh about how little I tried when I'm gone
 Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
 And maybe you'll remember this here song
 Maybe you'll listen and sing along
 When I'm gone
 Learned to be hard-working and honest, somehow along the way
 Lived and loved, lost and won, then this old wild man got tame
 Settled in and settled down, even learned to filter what I say
 Can't help but regret so many mistakes, I replay in my head every day
 You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I'm gone
 You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
 You can sigh about how little I tried when I'm gone
 Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
 And maybe you'll remember this here song
 Maybe you'll listen and sing along
 When I'm gone
