If I Died Today

If I died today

Who'd turn off my coffee pot?

Would there be a street parade?

Would I just be an after-thought?



If I died today

Would I still be a waiter?

Could I fly around like superman?

Would I make the Sunday paper?



I wonder who I'd see

Cryin' standin' over me

Who would just send their regards?

Would anybody say "at least he's in a better place?"

And who would get this old guitar?



If I died today

Would my mama keep on prayin'?

Would my buddies go out drinkin?

Would my alarm clock keep on blinkin'?



If I died today

Would I need to be ashamed?

Would I be easy to forget?

Could I live with my regrets?



I wonder who I'd see

Cryin' standin' over me

Who would just send their regards?

Would anybody say "the world will never be the same?"

And who would get this old guitar?



If I died today

Could I see my room from Heaven?

Would my family talk about me

At Christmas and Thanksgivin'?



I wonder who I'd see

Cryin' standin' over me

Who would just send their regards?

Would anybody say "what a good guy, what a shame?"

And who would get this old guitar?



If I died today

Who'd turn off my coffee pot?
