Before I die
I wanna hear my songs on the radio
Before I close my eyes
Forevermore
I wanna hear somebody singing my songs
I wanna know I helped somebody along
I wanna hear my songs on the radio
Before I die

Before I die
I wanna hear my name on the radio
Before the one and only
Calls my name
I wanna hear them say
What a beautiful song
I wanna know I helped somebody along
I wanna hear my name on the radio
Before I die

Before I die
I wanna hear somebody singing my songs
Before I die
I wanna know I helped somebody along

Before I die
I hope you hear my songs on the radio
Before the one and only
Calls my name
I hope you're listening to your radio one day
And you hear somebody singing and say

I wanna hear my songs on the radio
I wanna hear my name on the radio
I hope you hear my songs on the radio
Before... Before Long Before Long Before y'all

Before I close my eyes for the final time
Before I fly away
Leave this old body behind...
Before I go home ... Before I go home ...
