There's a beat comin' from somewhere other than my chest There's words that stir up dust and the peace that I will rest A melody to ease the mind long after I've lost mine I will, but my song will never die I don't know the day, I don't know the time But one day, my Bonnie ain't gonna have her Clyde And I know I'll be leavin' somewhere further down the line I will, but my song will never die When I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die True words are rare birds, they heal up broken hearts They sing through rusty strings on beat up old guitar The notes are always changin', but truth stands the test of time I will, but my song will never die Oh, when I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die When my name ain't nothing more than just letters on a stone Or flowers in a field, full of other sinners gone It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die When I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die Oh, I will, but my song will never die
