When I'm Gone - A Father's Last Words

Country music storytelling at its rawest and most honest. "When I'm Gone (A Father's Last Words)" is an original country ballad that channels the spirit of legends like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. This song isn't about the sadness of death; it's a powerful message about the legacy of life.

It's the heartfelt advice from a father figure, sharing his final words of wisdom: to stand tall, work hard, hold onto love, and find strength in faith. He promises that his presence will remain in the wind through the trees and the sound of a distant train, offering comfort long after he's gone. This is a song for anyone who has ever needed a guiding hand or the words to remember a loved one.

Verse 1
Well, the sun don’t shine forever, boys,
The river don’t always run,
One day these old boots won’t walk no more,
And my time here will be done.

But before I cross that lonesome line,
Where the good Lord calls me home,
There’s a few things I’d have you know,
So you’ll never walk alone.

Chorus
When I’m gone, don’t you weep for me,
Just stand tall and be strong.
Keep your heart full of love and grace,
And you’ll never do no wrong.

Verse 2
Life’s a road with twists and turns,
Some smooth and some are rough.
You’ll lose your way, you’ll find it again—
Just don’t you give up.

Work hard, but don’t let the work own you,
Hold tight to those you love.
And when the world feels cold and mean,
Look to the Lord above.

Chorus
When I’m gone, don’t you weep for me,
Just stand tall and be strong.
Keep your heart full of love and grace,
And you’ll never do no wrong.

Bridge
I ain’t leavin’ you no fortune,
Just my name and my pride.
So wear it well, but don’t you fear
To step out of my shadow’s light.

Verse 3
When the wind blows through the cottonwoods,
And the night is soft and long,
That’s me whisperin’ in your ear,
Singin’ you this song.

Outro
So live your days with a steady hand,
And love with all your might.
And when you hear that train roll by,
Know I’m walkin’ in the light.

Final Chorus
When I’m gone, don’t you weep for me,
Just stand tall and be strong.
Keep your heart full of love and grace,
And you’ll never do no wrong.

The Sound: Deep, resonant vocals drive this authentic country tune, backed by a classic arrangement of acoustic guitar, a steady walking bass line, and the mournful cry of a pedal steel guitar.
