　　I can smell the death on the sheets

　　Covering me

　　I can't believe this is the end

　　But this is my deathbed

　　I lie here alone

　　If I close my eyes tonight

　　I know I'll be home

　　The year was nineteen forty one

　　I was eight years old and

　　Far, far too young

　　To know that the stories

　　Of battles and glory

　　Was a tale a kind mother

　　Made up for her son

　　You see

　　Dad was a traveling preacher

　　Teaching the words of the Teacher

　　My mother had sworn he

　　Went off to the war

　　And died there with honor

　　Somewhere on a beach there

　　But he left once to never return

　　Which taught me that I should unlearn

　　Whatever I thought a father should be

　　I abandoned that thought

　　Like he abandoned me

　　By forty seven I was fourteen

　　I'd acquired a taste for liquor

　　and nicotine

　　I smoked until I threw up

　　Yet I still lit 'em up

　　For thirty more years

　　Like a machine

　　So right there you have it

　　That one filthy habit

　　Is what got me where I am today

　　I can smell the death on the sheets

　　Covering me

　　I can't believe this is the end

　　I can hear those sad memories

　　Still haunting me

　　So many things

　　I'd do again

　　But this is my deathbed

　　I lie here alone

　　If I close my eyes tonight

　　I know I'll be home

　　I got married on my twenty first

　　Eight months before my wife

　　would give birth

　　It's easier to be sure

　　you love someone

　　When her father inquires with

　　the barrel of a gun

　　The union was far from harmonious

　　No two people could have

　　been more alone than us

　　The years would go by

　　and she'd love someone else

　　And I realized I hadn't

　　been loved yet myself

　　From there it's your typical spiel

　　Yeah if life was a highway

　　I was drunk at the wheel

　　I was seeing the loose ends

　　All fall apart

　　Yeah I swear I was destined to fail

　　And fail from the start

　　I bowled about six times a week

　　The bottle of Beam

　　kept the memories from me

　　The marriage had taken a seven-ten split

　　And along with my pride

　　the ex-wife took the kids

　　I can smell the death on the sheets

　　Covering me

　　I can't believe this is the end

　　I can hear those sad memories

　　Still haunting me

　　So many things

　　I'd do again

　　But this is my deathbed

　　I lie here alone

　　If I close my eyes tonight

　　I know I'll be home

　　I was so scared of Jesus

　　But He sought me out

　　Like the cancer in my lungs

　　That's killing me now

　　And I've given up hope

　　On the days I have left

　　But I cling to the hope

　　Of my life in the next

　　Then Jesus showed up

　　Said, "Before we go up

　　I thought that we might reminisce

　　See one night in your life

　　When you turned out the light

　　You asked for and prayed

　　for my forgiveness"

　　You cried wolf

　　The tears they soaked your fur

　　The blood dripped from your fangs

　　You said, "What have I done?"

　　You loved that Lamb

　　With every sinful bone

　　And there you wept alone

　　Your heart was so contrite

　　You said, "Jesus,

　　please forgive me of my crimes

　　Sanctify this withered heart of mine

　　Stay with me until my life is through

　　And on that day please

　　take me home with you"

　　I can smell the death on the sheets

　　Covering me

　　I can't believe this is the end

　　I can hear You whisper to me,

　　"It's time to leave

　　You'll never be lonely again"

　　But this was my deathbed

　　I died there alone

　　When I closed my eyes tonight

　　You carried me home

　　And take My hand

　　And I am the Light

　　And for Me you'll live again
