SHOOT ME
Brenn HillDefenders Recording Co (BMI)

Verse 1:
I'm stuck here in this prison called assisted livin' Hell
And I have lost my mind but doctors say I'm doin' well
There's green grass through my window but the fall is comin' soon
I lie awake at night and wait to see the passin' moon

My family comes and goes I guess their lives are not like mine
I sift through my memories most of which are truly fine
But I was once a whisky drinkin' able mountain man
Now I can't even hold a gun or bottle in my hand

Chorus
So take me up to Woodruff when the leaves are comin' gold
One last ride o'er Monte in the early Autumn cold
Take me from this prison and this cold hospital bed
Then take my old Winchester and shoot me in the head

Verse 2:
I'll smell the Autumn sagebrush I'll look into the sky
My heart it will be full again the moment that I die
I'll see the Rocky Mountains when I take my final breath
And know I love you more for givin' me a cowboy's death

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
And I know what I'm askin' is too much
But life is so much sweeter when you die someplace you love
