If I Die Young - The Band Perry

If I die young 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

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
 She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh and
 Life ain't always what you think it oughta be, no
 Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

If I die young 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

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
 I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've never known the lovin' of a man,
 But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
 There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
 Who would have thought forever could be severed by

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
 What I never did is done
 A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

If I die young 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
 Uh oh (uh oh)

The sharp knife of a short life well
 I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
