[Verse 1]
I hope I die in my boots
I hope I die in my boots
Never saw no use
Of dyin' in my Sunday shoes
I hope I die in my boots

[Verse 2]
I hope I die in the spring
I hope I die in the spring
Never saw no reason
To die in any other season
I hope I die in the spring

[Chorus]
I'll be walkin' in my garden
When my soul, like a prisoner's pardoned
When my heart stops startin'
I hope that I'm not sleepin'
When Mister Grim comes reapin'
I wanna see the face that he's been keepin'

[Verse 3]
I've gotta keep my eyes open
I've gotta keep my eyes open
I wanna see my broken soul start floatin'
And die with my eyes wide open
[Verse 1]
I hope I die in my boots
I hope I die in my boots
Never saw no use
Of dyin' in my Sunday shoes
I hope I die in my boots
