if I don’t make heaven, if I fail my final test
if i ain’t bound for glory when they lay me down to rest
if my soul is to be sinking like the sun sets in the west
put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
yeah, put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
like that winding river i will run until the end
crashing off the canyon walls and racing round the bends
living in a water shed and trying to get some sleep
lying in my river bed and dreaming of the sea
well if I don’t make heaven, if I fail my final test
if i ain’t bound for glory when they lay me down to rest
if my soul is to be sinking like the sun sets in the west
put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
yeah, put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
like that big ol’ cottonwood that reaches for the sky
i will keep on growing ’til i meet my by and by
peaches in the summertime and apples in the fall
if i can’t live the life i love, i don’t want none at all
but if I don’t make heaven, if I fail my final test
if i ain’t bound for glory when they lay me down to rest
if my soul is to be sinking like the sun sets in the west
put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
yeah, put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
like that rolling tumbleweed that hitches on the wind
i will be around awhile and then i’m gone again
drifting through the desert sands or ‘cross the interstate
i’ll arrive when i arrive and i am never late
and if I don’t make heaven, if I fail my final test
if i ain’t bound for glory when they lay me down to rest
if my soul is to be sinking like the sun sets in the west
put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
yeah, put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
like that lonely mountaintop who speaks but isn’t heard
i don’t shout the loudest, but i never mince my words
so if you ever think of me and care to share the view
i will be here waiting patiently for you
but if I don’t make heaven, if I fail my final test
if i ain’t bound for glory when they lay me down to rest
if my soul is to be sinking like the sun sets in the west
put it on my gravestone that i tried my best
yeah, put it on my gravestone that i tried my best

hawthorn, my heart is as blue as the dew
in the morning when i wake up and go running after you
where have you gone, oh what can i do?
i’m lonely in the clover with my heart sad and blue
hawthorn, i’m gonna find you
hawthorn, don’t make me remind you
hawthorn, my envy’s as green as can be
for the berries that are buried deep between your leaves
your mind is a mystery, your thorns how they bite
your brambles they cut like a candle in the night
hawthorn, i’m gonna find you
hawthorn, don’t make me remind you
hawthorn, my blood is as red as your fruit
sucking at the soil from deep between your roots
it’s haw for a haw and an eye for an eye
i’m wonderin’ if your blood runs red like mine
hawthorn, i’m gonna find you
hawthorn, don’t make me remind you
hawthorn, my head is as dusty as the wind
blowing through your branches in the state i’m in
my fingertips are tattered, my boots are full of sand
i’m standing in my backyard, with a silky in my hand
hawthorn, i’m gonna find you
hawthorn, don’t make me remind you
hawthorn, i’m gonna find you
hawthorn, don’t make me remind you
