When I'm Gone Songtext
von Scott Cooley

A lot of girlfriends broke up with me, I made it easy for them to do
But I broke up with a lot of them, maybe even broke a heart or two
Well I straight-up quit a whole lot of jobs, got fired from some too
Hung my hat in a whole lot of places, seemed I was always on the move

You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I′m gone
You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
You can sigh about how little I tried when I′m gone
Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
And maybe you'll remember this here song
Maybe you′ll listen and sing along
When I′m gone


I've cheated, lied and stolen
Should′ve learned more than a lesson or two
Tried to poison, torture and destroy myself
But every time I tried I'd lose
My big mouth got me in big trouble
Had more than my share of the blues
Did as little as possible to get by
Made it a challenge to coast and cruise

You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I′m gone
You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
You can sigh about how little I tried when I′m gone
Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
And maybe you'll remember this here song
Maybe you′ll listen and sing along
When I′m gone

Learned to be hard-working and honest, somehow along the way
Lived and loved, lost and won, then this old wild man got tame
Settled in and settled down, even learned to filter what I say
Can't help but regret so many mistakes, I replay in my head every day

You can laugh about the crazy things I did when I′m gone
You can cry about the nice guy that I was when I'm gone
You can sigh about how little I tried when I′m gone
Shake your head about the stupid things I said when I'm gone
And maybe you′ll remember this here song
Maybe you'll listen and sing along
When I'm gone
