"When I'm Gone"
No one give a s*** about the way I walk
I don't mix my words it's just the way I talk
I got a pistol in my pocket and one black eye
I say forget these m************, let's go get high
Ooh, maybe I should do right
But I feel like doin' wrong
When I'm gone
I got a pretty little woman gonna make her my wife
Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I'm able and I'm strong
When I'm gone
Maybe they'll forgive me
Beg, boy, just come on home
When I'm gone
I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought
When I'm gone
I could feel it closing in on me
I got to be all I can be
In this life there ain't no guarantee
You don't get no s*** for free
Well you get it on your own and you bring it home
When I'm gone
So I'll go and join the army, gonna walk that line
A desperate decision for a desperate time
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I was worth my salt
When I'm gone
Darling, I know you'll miss me
We'll just have to stay strong
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
No one give a s*** about the way I walk
I don't mix my words it's just the way I talk
I got a pistol in my pocket and one black eye
I say forget these m************, let's go get high
Ooh, maybe I should do right
But I feel like doin' wrong
When I'm gone
I got a pretty little woman gonna make her my wife
Gonna start myself a family, make a brand new life
Ooh and maybe they'll realize that I'm able and I'm strong
When I'm gone
Maybe they'll forgive me
Beg, boy, just come on home
When I'm gone
I got a baby on the way and I can't provide
You can't live on love, you can't live on pride
I come to realize, well it's harder than I thought
When I'm gone

I got to be all I can be
In this life there ain't no guarantee

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
