Will You Remember Me Songtext

von David Allan Coe

Live at Billy Bob's Texas
Will you remember me?
WiIl you remember me?
Will you remember me?
That's what I'm talkin about,
When my life runs out,
Will you remember me?

I was the guy that could drink you under the table,
I was the last one when the whiskey was gone,
I was always ready willing and able,
You know I did it right when it comes to doin wrong.

I had more tattoos,
I could drink more booze,
I made my livin with a guitar and a gun,
You know I robbed more banks than jesse james,
I was public enemy number one.

I was the guy that your parents warned you about,
I was everything you wanted to be,
So when I'm dead and gone,
Will you still sing my song?
Will you remember me?

Will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
That's what I'm talkin about,
When my life runs out,
Will you remember me?

I was the guy that wrote the songs the whole world was singin,
I played in every honky-tonk from Dallas to Bangamine,
I sang "please come to boston" and "tennessee whiskey",
I am the guy that sang "You never even called me by my name."

I once was the amazing ah but now I'm so amazed,
I lived my life in the foot lights, yes I grew up on the stage,
You know I payed my dues, I done my time,
Now my friends are all dying ya see,
But before I go, I just wanna know,
Will you remember me?

Will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
That's what I'm talkin about,
When my life runs out,
Will you remember me?
