Dead and Gone
One day I’ll be dead and gone.
The world will forget about me.
But life will still keep rolling on
As it does now without me.
Nothing that I do will last
No matter just how clever.
Forgotten once it’s in the past,
All dead and gone forever.
One day I’ll be dead and gone,
No memory worth keeping.
And all who’ll mourn my passing on
Will finish with their weeping.
Will they recall me? Prob’ly not
For I’ve no fame or fortune.
I struggled hard for all I got
And I got no fair portion.
One day I’ll be dead and gone
And won’t worry ‘bout tomorrow.
To never see another dawn,
Live no more days of sorrow.
And no one will remember me.
That’s for the best, I’m certain.
In the end we all will see
The closing of life’s curtain.
One day I’ll be dead and gone
Yes, dead and gone forever.
Six feet under some guy’s lawn
Yes, dead and gone forever.
