Martin, who'll give my eulogy Raise him up, stand up, pour him out for me
The bouncer in the back's already wearing black When the time comes, he'll be ready
In lieu of flowers, tip the cover band Make sure they play a little country boy
Can't survive if I don't make it through the night
I'll fly away on a whiskey river Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor for my eyes closed
When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart I wanna die, I wanna die in a bar
When you swing on in them swinging doors Leave that heartache out on the porch
My happy hour don't allow no tears So dry them up and fill your cup
While I fly away on a whiskey river Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor for my eyes closed When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart
I wanna die in a bar I wanna die in a bar
I'll fly away on a whiskey river Washed in the glow of a neon light
When it all goes dark Want a beer in hand when it's time to go
See a sawdust floor for my eyes closed When the good Lord stops this honky-tonk heart
I wanna die, I wanna die in a bar I wanna die in a bar



I wanna die, I wanna die in a bar
I wanna die in a bar
Yeah
I wanna die
