You only have one life to live That’s what the Bible says So try to be the best man you can
I try to lead a simple life Avoid all kind of lies And mistakes are your best friends
Today might be my last day Believe me, that’s okay
So when I go bury me Old river road Well I hope you sing my songs They go la-dee-dah-dee-dah La-dee-dah-dee-dah Says a few prayers for my soul At the end of the road Road
Have to thank my best friends They made me who I am yeah We always had a hell of a time
Special thanks to mom and dad I know that they’d be sad But believe me, I’m thankful for my life
Yeah today might be my last day Believe me, that’s okay
So when I go bury me Old river road Well I hope you sing my songs They go la-dee-dah-dee-dah La-dee-dah-dee-dah Say a few prayers for my soul At the end of the road
Don’t you worry Don’t you cry I know I’ll see you some other time Where the grass is always greener Time doesn’t fly I wanna thank you for being in my life
Yeah today might be my last day Believe me, that’s okay
So when I go bury me Old river road Well I hope you sing my songs They go la-dee-dah-dee-dah La-dee-dah-dee-dah Say a few prayers for my soul
So when I go bury me Down that old river road Yeah boys and I hope you sing my songs They go la-dee-dah-dah-dah-dee-dah La-dee-dah-dee-dah Say a few prayers for my soul Yeah we all have to go At the end of the road
