lyrics

If my time came today
I'd know my place and know my way
Know my world and know my past
Find me a love that's built to last
Go into the country where I can't be found
Where I can't drive my friends into the ground
Go into the country out among the haze
Forget the broken promise of our days

And if my time came tonight
I'd book my ticket on a one-way flight
If planes don't go where I want to
I'll go on foot, well how bout you?
Go into the country where the fog rolls in
Try to lose my conscience in the wind
Go into the country on that open range
Oh Holly yes I feel so fuckin' strange

If I ever hurt that girl
I'd buy me a ticket around the world
Try my hand on the seven seas
Roll them dice and climb them trees
Go into the country where I'll rest awhile
Remember every time I made her smile
Go into the country where I'm all alone
Leave my best friend back at home

Well if my time came today
The birds and crickets comin' out to play
I'd light a pipe, accept my curse
And watch my body in a big long hearse
Go into the heavens with another name
Unshackle all my bitterness and shame
Go into the country just beyond the sea
Lord I hope she rids herself of me
