Flowers

So I said, "Listen, I got..." and I said, uh, somethin' about, uh

Goin' to somebody's funeral or something, she...

I said, "Man," I said, I said, "Bring my flowers now, while I'm living"

Bring my flowers now, while I'm living

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body

If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

All the miles cast a long shadow

I'd take a couple back if I could

I'd learn to play guitar

Tell my daddy more I loved him

But I believe, for the most part, I done good

There's always sunrise and rainbows in babies

And the little things I cherish on my way

Even though one day they'll bury me and Jesse Ray

I just know we're gonna ride again someday

Bring my flowers now, while I'm living

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears, or money on my ol' breathless body

Well, if your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

The days are long, but the years are lightning

They're bright and they will never strike again

I wish I'd been a better friend

A better daughter to my mother

There's no going back when your back's against the wind

So if you got love, then you're sittin' on a gold mine

And you can't take it with you when you go

So don't wait to help your sister

Forgive your brother and your neighbor

We all think we've got time until we don't

Bring my flowers now, while I'm living

I won't need your love when I'm gone

Don't spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body

If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on

If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
