Goodbye Mr. Slim

I was thinking if I were to die. Would I be leaving anything behind?
Other than the ones I love, my possessions, and my mind
That's why I've been playing this guitar,
And writin' down a couple of songs
So you still can hear my voice, long after I'm gone

Singin' bout the lows and highs,
'Cause you know it's been a helluva ride
We came up here with nothing, and ended up just fine
And brother I hope you'll probably be here, a lot longer than I will
So if I go before you, don't let it put you through hell

You came with me from the mine to go work up there in the sky
And I never would've met my lovergirl Stella,
If you didn't take me out that night
We went up to the city, as a couple of wide(white?)-eyed kids
So if you're ever missin' me, just know that you're my best friend

And remember all the good times,
'Cause you know it's been a helluva ride
We came up here with nothing, and ended up just fine
And brother I hope you'll probably be here, a lot longer than I will
So if I go before you, don't let it put you through hell

Part of me's still alive in these songs of mine,
And if you ever hear one, know we had a hell of a ride
'Cause everybody's, has got a time to leave
So let ours together, put you at peace
