Lyrics of 'If I Die Young (feat. The Band Perry)' by Jon Young

If I die young
Bury bury me in satin satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love songlove song

Now, this is dedicated
To the ones that lost they lives
A little to early
To the families out there still in pain
I know that yall still hurtin

Losin loved ones
Young daughters and sons
No longer with us
To the souljas overseas
Neva comin home to they families

We grieve but it really don't get no better
Their candle went out too soon
So much to live for still
Just built the baby's room

Last year he was the groom
And now his should is set free
But still alive in your mind
When u lay down to sleepdown to sleep

They never really gone
Take time like cash said
They livin in our hearts
I know it I can feel em there

They lookin down upon us
Guidin us through all the struggles
Helpin us to find
All the pieces of this puzzle

Yeah
The pains double when it's
Someone so young
But they goin live through us
So they can see how it's done

Yea all the tears and the fun
And everything in between
We raise a glass in the air
For the ones no longer seen

If I die young
Bury bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Life ain't always what you
Think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey
But she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, wellsharp knife of a short life, well

Now I cant understand
Why the lord is taken there kids
So many kidnappings and murders
Right here around my where I live

Let alone the rest of the world
My heart goes out to that girlthat girl
So rip little Caylee
How could this happen to a baby

I get so sick of this place
But I try to focus on the good
But it's hard when you lose someone
Way sooner than you probably should

If I could I'd take
All the pain away
No more funerals or visitin
Cemetarys on holidays

I just wanna drift away
From all the pain that we feelin
Man it's been 10 years since
Chris died I'm still healin

One of the first dudes to
Push me in this rappin
I'll neva forget
We shed so many tears
So tragic

You and your brother passin
How could this happen
You still here though
Everytime I layin down a track man

I gotta keep it crackin
I know that was ya dream
I do it for the ones that are no longer seen

The sharp knife of a short
Life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words
Of a love song
