Our sung last will and testament.

lyrics

When I'm Gone
© 2011 The Squirrel Hillbillies

I spill the milk, I spill the beans
I've run every stoplight I've ever seen
I play the wrong chords and I sing out of tune and
I tell all the punchlines way too soon

When I'm gone pour beer on my grave
Sing me a song about how I'll be saved
Drive my old car into the sea
Just don't forget about me
(Singing off key)
Don't forget about me

I drink too much coffee and keep you awake
With stories of nonsense adventures I take
I talk to the trees and I sing to the stars
And I dance with the chickens out there in the yard

When I'm gone pour beer on my grave
Sing me a song about how I'll be saved
Drive my old car into the sea
Just don't forget about me
(Talking to trees)
Don't forget about me

Give my guitar to the girl down the street
My coat to anyone cold that you meet
When I'm gone I won't cry anymore
About hunger and greed, anger and war

When I'm gone pour beer on my grave
Sing me a song about how I'll be saved
Drive my old car into the sea
Just don't forget about me
(When you're sipping your tea)
Don't forget about me
(When you smell Patchouli)
Don't forget about me
