Empty Pockets
I hope I'm sittin' by the ocean
A cold one in my hand
A smile upon my wise old face
My toes up in the sand
No, we don't get to choose it
But why'd I think it'd be best
I take in one last sunset
And laugh myself to death
I hope I'm old but I'm not weary
I hope I gave what I could give
With a heart that's strong from caring
And some scars to show I live
I hope I made somebody happy
And did more good than bad
I hope I spend up every dollar
And I love with all I have
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go
So I won't empty pockets when I walk those streets of gold
Well, don't go crazy on the casket
It's only nails and wood
And save your tears for someone
Who didn't have it quite so good
'Cause it should be a celebration
If I lived it right
And I sure as hell don't wanna go
When it comes the time
I hope I'm old but I'm not weary
I hope I gave what I could give
With a heart that's strong from caring
And some scars to show I live
I hope I made somebody happy
And did more good than bad
I hope I spend up every dollar
And I love with all I have
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go
So I won't empty pockets when I walk those streets of gold
I don't know when or where I'm going
No one really does
But I'll keep livin' every moment
So when that moment comes
I'll be old but not too weary
And know I gave what I could give
With a heart that's strong from caring
And some scars to show I live
I hope I made somebody happy
And did more good than bad
I hope I spend up every dollar
And I love with all I have
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go
So I won't empty pockets when I walk those streets of gold
I won't empty pockets when I walk those streets of gold
