On the Night That I Died

On the night that I died
I took my first drink at a quarter to five
On the night that I died

On the night that I died
I was listening to John Prine
Singing Lake Marie

He was holding a big guitar
Shining like a star
Shining like a star

On the night that I died
I was thinking about the oceans
The stars in the sky
The Earth and the trees
The birds and the bees
And the warmth of the ones I love

On the night that I died
On the night that I died

I had a feeling of eternal gratitude
Just for knowing you

And I said
Before I get out of here
Bring me one Irish one bourbon and one beer
Give me just a taste of this sweet sweet life
One more time

On the night that I died
I know that I cried
Tears of sadness and tears of joy
On the night that I died
I'm sure that I smiled
Thinking about the journey

On the night that I died
On the night that I died
