There I'll Be

There I'll be
When they're singing
There I'll be
In the sunshine
There I'll be
Fit and strong
Burned up hot
Stoked up and ready
Aching for one more shot
Pared to the bone
Chased up a tree
When you hear a shout on the one way out
Look up and there I'll be
Under the dog
Dart in the wall
Scruffy and a little chewed up
Pulling myself up tall
No fine print
They tore up the guarantee
Get up near 'cause when the smoke all clears
Look up and there I'll be
I'll be there when they're
Holding up their hearts
Kicking up their heels
And howling at the moon
I'll be there when they
Finally figure out that
Love writes the sweetest tunes
Love heals the deepest wounds
Love fills the empty rooms
Thanks for the talk
And the cigarette
And if you're walking by Duffy's Bar
And you want to make a bet
Win, place or show
You can put it all on me
When you lay your hands on the promise land
Look up and there I'll be
There I'll be
When they're singing
There I'll be
When it comes true
There I'll be
When we're laughing
There I'll be
When the dawn comes
There I'll be
