My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow For the only one I love When shall I see him, oh, no, never Till I meet him in heaven above Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Yes under the weeping willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he will weep over me They told me that he did not love me I could not believe it was true Until an angel softly whispered He has proven untrue to you Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Yes under the weeping willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he will weep over me Tomorrow was our wedding day But, oh Lord, oh, where is he He's gone to seek him another bride And he cares no more for me Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Yes under the weeping willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he will weep over me Oh, bury me under the violets blue To prove my love to him Tell him that I would die to save him For his love I never could win Oh, bury me under the weeping willow Yes under the weeping willow tree So he may know where I am sleeping And perhaps he will weep over me

Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down I flew around the country Been outside the USA They were right when they would say No place like home But I kept on testing limits Where I'd bend and where I'd break All the friends that I would make Then leave behind The only place I want to be at closing time Bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days Finish out the race Where it started in a haze In the place that I was raised Lay me back down Let me watch my final sunset In the land that I love most Holding all my loved ones close I'll walk on through So bury me in my hometown Let the world close around my final days

There's a comfort in the chaos An exhausting kind of peace There's a ringing in our ears That'll last at least a week And they'll wonder why we're grinning With our bodies sore and shot 'Cause they don't know about our secret And it's worth a fucking lot 'Cause it's easy feeling jaded Feeling older, feeling wasted And it's harder feeling stronger But we're better with each other And it's cheesy but I know that When I fall, you'll help to pick me off the floor And I still have that CD-R of 'Reinventing Axl Rose' That you burnt for me in high school Way too many years ago Now it's scratched and I don't have a CD player anymore But I keep it for the sentiment 'Cause that's what shelves are for And it's easy feeling jaded Feeling older, feeling wasted And it's harder feeling stronger But we're better with each other And it's cheesy but I know that When I fall, you'll help to pick me off the floor So bury me in Gainesville Close to State Road 24 When I've finally worn out everything That I was living for I'll stay close and you'll stay magic As October never ends 'Cause we held onto something bigger Than they'll ever understand And it's easy feeling jaded Feeling older, feeling wasted And it's harder feeling stronger But we're better with each other And it's cheesy but I know that When I fall, you'll help to pick me off the floor
