The Band Perry - If I Die Young

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 

Uh oh, uh 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 well 

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no 

Ain't even grey, 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 holdin' 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 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 

Uh oh (uh, oh) 

The ballad of a dove (oh, uh) 

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
