Staring in the face of death, I can't help but smile I told the reaper, "Have a seat 'cause this might take a while" Though my ticket has been punched and I know time has come There's still unfinished business; there's something left undone When I'm gone, (Hey!) when I die (Hey!) Don't be sad tonight When I go to sleep forever Oh well it's time I closed my eyes Here's a song for worse or better Sing the whisky lullaby He said, "Let's make a deal now; I'll leave you for the night But I'll be here tomorrow to make sure you'll take the ride So go on, say goodbye then to your friends and next of kin And maybe in the afterlife you'll see them back again" When I'm gone, (Hey!) when I die (Hey!) Don't be sad tonight When I go to sleep forever Oh well it's time I closed my eyes Here's a song for worse or better Sing the whisky lullaby When I'm gone, (Hey!) when I die (Hey!) Don't be sad tonight When I go to sleep forever Oh well it's time I closed my eyes Here's a song for worse or better Singin' the whisky lullaby When I go to sleep forever Oh well it's time I closed my eyes Here's a song for worse or better Singin' the whisky lullaby Singin' the whisky lullaby Singin' the whisky lullaby
