When I die
Well they may not even notice
I don't think they know my number now.
If they don't just let 'em alone
I'm happy
Happier than I've ever been
Iowa was my home for so long
Couldn't find a better place to live
But all good things must end sometime
any how
I'm on my way to heaven, who knows
if it's there.
