[Verse]

The old man was a good man he raised his children right

He taught us how to work hard and showed us how to fight

Told me about the good lord and when to use a gun

Made me very proud of where it is that I come from

[Chorus]

When I die put my father in the big same urn

Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune

All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars

I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

[Verse]

Years a row nobody, the old man turned me loose

Way cross town I learned about those sad ol' country blues

Taught me how to prep my heart from trying to make it right

Told me not to ever break one alone at a time

[Chorus]

When I die put my father in the big same urn

Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune

All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars

I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

[Bridge]

Hope you have me on your memory like a painted old tattoo

I might not make a history book but I'll burn a page or two

Yeah

[Chorus]

When I die put my father in the big same urn

Look down at me smiling I don't want no beating tune

All I leave behind me is a rag of old guitars

I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar
