My old lady left me on a Saturday night
That drove me crazy, I never really got it right
This old puppy stood right by my side
You gotta trust me, I wanted to run and hide
When you lay me down, don′t you dare cry for me
If you lay me down, don't you ever cry for me
And if you really do care, I′ve lived almost everywhere
Don't you dare cry for me, don't let me die in Tennessee
I lost my job because I drink too much
I was like a doorknob, closed shut with every touch
But I had my truck, led me to my homemade whiskey
Didn′t give a fuck, and no one ever missed me
When you lay me down, don′t you dare cry for me
If you lay me down, don't you ever cry for me
And if you really do care, I′ve lived almost everywhere
Don't you dare cry for me, don′t let me die in Tennessee
I heard the news, my body was giving up
'Cause I broke the rules, rode hard, put up rough
Still think about you, my dog, my life, and my Mopar
It′s all that I can do to get my ass out of this bar
When you lay me down, don't you dare cry for me
If you lay me down, don't you ever cry for me
And if you really do care, I′ve lived almost everywhere
Please if you care, just for me, don′t let me die in Tennessee
I ain't been that bad of a man
