If I Die Young (Explicit)

If I Die Young(I've Had Just Enough Time) (Explicit) - Top 40 Country Hits

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you

When she stands under my colors

Oh and life ain't always

What you think it ought to be no

Ain't even gray but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts oh no

I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Oh oh oh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time

When you're really gonna need 'em oh

The sharp knife of a short life

Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
