(Verse 1)
When the time comes, lay me down
In the land of open skies, no city sounds.
Where the mines are deep and the smoke hangs high,
But the folks are strong, with hearts that try.
I’ve lived a life with joy and song,
The sorrows never stayed too long.
So when I'm gone, don't cry for me,
Just sing and laugh, let your hearts be free.
(Chorus)
Bury me in the West, where the skies burn red,
In the smoky air, I’ll lay my head.
With my songs and melodies, let them stay,
A memory of me when I’ve gone away.
Bury me where love runs deep,
In the land of dreams, where I’ll forever sleep.
(Verse 2)
Gather 'round, my friends and my kin,
Sing the tunes that we once lived in.
Think of me by the lake, or a river’s flow,
With my old friend Hazelnut, we’ll roam and go.
Whether young or old, I’ll ride the skies,
With starlit dreams and endless highs.
I’ll meet the ones who left too soon,
And those whose lives were born in gloom.
(Chorus)
Bury me in the West, where the skies burn red,
In the smoky air, I’ll lay my head.
With my songs and melodies, let them stay,
A memory of me when I’ve gone away.
Bury me where love runs deep,
In the land of dreams, where I’ll forever sleep.
(Verse 3)
In the West, where the mountains rise,
And the stars shine bright in the endless skies.
There’s a place for me where the rivers flow,
With the ones I’ve loved, where the soft winds blow.
So, when I’m gone, don’t mourn too long,
Just remember me through my words and song.
For I’ve lived with joy, and I’ve done my best,
Now lay me down in the West.
(Chorus)
Bury me in the West, where the skies burn red,
In the smoky air, I’ll lay my head.
With my songs and melodies, let them stay,
A memory of me when I’ve gone away.
Bury me where love runs deep,
In the land of dreams, where I’ll forever sleep.
(Verse 4)
Well, I don’t know if there’s a life beyond,
But I’ve always hoped, and I’ve held on strong.
To dream of a place where the stories don’t end,
With music and laughter, surrounded by friends.
So even if there’s nothing there to find,
I’ve loved to imagine it in my mind.
A place of peace, where the songs run free,
A wild, wild West that waits for me.
(Chorus)
Bury me in the West, where the skies burn red,
In the smoky air, I’ll lay my head.
With my songs and melodies, let them stay,
A memory of me when I’ve gone away.
Bury me where love runs deep,
In the land of dreams, where I’ll forever sleep.
(Verse 5)
Yes, bury me in the West, and know it's true,
I loved you all, and I’ll be watching over you.
