If I died today
Who'd turn off my coffee pot?
Would there be a street parade?
Would I just be an after-thought?

If I died today
Would I still be a waiter?
Could I fly around like Superman?
Would I make the Sunday paper?

I wonder who I'd see
Crying standing over me
Who would just send their regards?
Would anybody say "at least he's in a better place?"
And who would get this old guitar?

If I died today
Would my mama keep on praying?
Would my buddies go out drinking?
Would my alarm clock keep on blinking?

If I died today
Would I need to be ashamed?
Would I be easy to forget?
Could I live with my regrets?

I wonder who I'd see
Crying standing over me
Who would just send their regards?
Would anybody say "the world will never be the same?"
And who would get this old guitar?

If I died today
Could I see my room from Heaven?
Would my family talk about me
At Christmas and Thanksgiving?

I wonder who I'd see
Crying standing over me
Who would just send their regards?
Would anybody say "what a good guy, what a shame?"
And who would get this old guitar?

If I died today
Who'd turn off my coffee pot?
