From the recording My First Posthumous Release

Lyrics

I'M GONNA MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE
(AL ROSE - WHEEL SEA MUSIC / ASCAP)


I’m gonna miss me when I’m gone
I’m gonna try to look away
But I keep on dragging on
Like a debt that stays and grays
It’s not hard to sing the blues when you’re in a deadly song
I’m gonna miss me when I’m gone

I just can’t read the words
Got no focus on the page
They’re like hieroglyphic blurs
Filled with hieroglyphic rage
It’s so hard to keep this pace when life just trickles on
I’m gonna miss me when I’m gone

The flower pot exaggerates this dirty little mess
I’m an ego-coated doughnut hole
With the jawbone of an ass

I’m gonna miss me when I’m gone
But I just won’t go away
You’d think I’d see the signs
But I just stay and stay and stay
And stay and stay and stay
Til the last train blows its horn
I’m gonna miss me when I’m gone
