I Will Be There When You Die Lyrics

Joe was born in New York City,
Son of Paul and Catherine
Always down and always out,
But his morals always seemed just fine

There will be bigotry and
There will be open minds
There will be days of peace
You'll never have the time
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die

I was born in east Kentucky
Home of where the grass is dyed
Always down and always out
But my morals always seemed just fine

There will be bigotry and
There will be open minds
There will be days of peace
You'll never have the time
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die

Describes a perfect expression of love without being cliche or contrived. It's songwriting like this why this band is one of the best.

My friend died in January and this was a song that helped me get threw it. I live in Kentucky and i am a musician and my morning jacket is a big inspiration of mine. There words are genuine and are a lot more meaningful than a lot of these bands out here. No rediculous lyrics that we've heard in 1,000 "sad songs" , just a great talent for writing and interpreting.
