When I’m Gone Kind of Like Spitting

[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't even know my rights from wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 2]
And I won't feel the flowin' of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour out a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
And I won't breathe the bracin' air when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 4]
And I won't be runnin' from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 5]
Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
And the evenings and mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singin' louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
