When I'm Gone

- written by Billy Ray Cyrus & Don Von Tress



Well, it seems you thought it over

And you feel I'm not the one

And you think you might do better on your own.

You say lover's vows only hold you down

So I guess I'm moving on,

But what'll you think about me when I'm gone, said and done?



What will you think about me when I'm gone, said and done,

When old memories fall like footsteps.

Will you think it's me coming home?

Well, I thought your eyes could see compromise,

But that's one thing you've never done.

What'll you think about me when I'm gone?



Will some other's kiss taste sweeter

Or will my pictures haunt your room?

Will it make your nights pass easier

Or will you think you were a fool

When my pillow's bare and you're lying there,

Will a heartache linger on?

What'll you think about me when I'm gone?

What'll you think about me when I'm gone
