Lyrics"When I'm Gone"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
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 Copyright © ℗ 2018 by Scott Cooley.
