When I'm gone, don't bring me pretty flowers
And don't sit and cry for me at my tomb stone
Come and visit me in the midnight hours
With your party on
Think of me and recall all the good times
And bring your memories and a bottle of ol' Jim Beam
And take a swig as a haunted honkeytonk Moon shines
And remember me

Pour whiskey on my grave
Let it seep into my bones
Have a drink with me
Even when I'm gone
I'll do the same for you, if you'll do the same for me
Turn it up and take a shot
Set my spirit free
Don't forget the promise that you made, Pour whiskey on my grave

When my time's up, don't let the good times be gone
Let me still go out like I wanted to go
Kickin' it up and drinking with my boots on
With a rebel soul

Pour whiskey on my grave
Let it seep into my bones
Have a drink with me
Even when I'm gone
I'll do the same for you, if you'll do the same for me
Turn it up and take a shot
Set my spirit free
Don't forget the promise that you made, Pour whiskey on my grave

When I'm gone, don't bring me pretty flowers
Don't sit and cry for me at my tomb stone
Come and visit me in the midnight hours
With your party on

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
