You’re gonna miss me

I was born in a post-romantic age
I was born in a post-romantic age
I don’t paint or compose
I was born in a post-romantic age
I was born in a post-romantic age
I don’t paint or compose
Two things I don’t do no more
I was born in a post romantic age

I used to be a big old coal steel rail
I used to be a big old coal steel rail
I’d paint the sky all thick and black
Rolling thunder on down the track
I used to be a big old coal steel rail

You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss the way I said your name
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone

I’d buy you a coat and a new red hat
Buy you a coat and a new red hat
I’d put you in the finest cars
With all the men who smoke cigars
I’d buy you a coat and a new red hat

High-class lady so debonair
High-class lady so debonair
All the ones I’ve never met
And all the ones who ain’t gone yet
High-class lady so debonair

You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss the way I said your name
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone

Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes
Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes
There’s a hole down in my soul
That couldn’t be filled by a thousand more
Otis Redding sang the blues sometimes

You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re Gonna miss the way I sang your song
You’re Gonna miss me when I’m gone
