I was standing at the waters edge Wondering how it felt to drown I'd rather you tie me to a cinder block Send me on my way down Now to tell me that I've lost my love And I have to say goodbye My sun rises and sets in her eyes And I know what I know deep inside I might as well die Might as well put me in the ground And say your goodbye An the sweet by and bye Oh if I can't have her love Might as well die She held the key that opened up my cell Set me free and cared for me She never asks about the scares I bore Or the places I have seen So find yourself a firing squad And a tall oak tree An you can't see well enough to shoot me down String me up swing me high and set me free Cause I might as well die You might as well put me in the ground And say your goodbyes And the sweet by and bye Oh if I can't have her love I might as well die I might ...as well die Might as well put me in the ground As say your goodbyes And the sweet by and bye Lord knows if I cant have her love I might as well die Said I might as well die Ya might as well put me in the ground And say your goodbye And the sweet by and bye Lord... knows if I can't have her love I might as well die
