Lyrics for Song: If I Die Young (Pop Version)
Lyrics for Album: The Band Perry EP [2010]
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
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 colors Oh and
Life ain't always what you think it oughtta be no
Ain't even grey but she buries her baby the sharp knife
Of a short life well, I've had just enough time
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
The sharp knife of a short life well
I've had just enough time
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 loving 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 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
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts no-no
I'll sell 'um for a dollar
They're worth so much more
After I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear
The words I've been singing
Funny when you're dead
How people start listening
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 ballad of a dove
(uh-oh) Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
Keep 'um in your pocket
Save 'um for a time
When you're really gonna need 'um 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

The song features the trio's characteristic harmonies and acoustic-driven arrangement, delivering a narrative of youthful heartbreak and resilience. As part of their early discography, the recording helped establish their identity in the mainstream market, blending traditional country storytelling with contemporary pop sensibilities.
