Craig Morgan's "When I'm Gone" Deals with the Issue of Mortality (See Video Here)

craig morgan

Craig Morgan has released his new single "When I'm Gone." Though it's not striictly a Christian song, but the song's subject strikes right at the heart of the Bible.  In the song, Morgan deals with the issue of the mortality of human beings and the need to live out our lives purposefully.  

Here are some of the lines: "When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears / When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears / That I danced on the wire, and I walked through the fire / That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired / So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone,"

""When I'm Gone" is one of those songs where, the first time I heard it, I knew I had to record it because it's so exactly me," Morgan says of the song, written by Justin Ebach and Steven Dale Jones. "It's no secret I've got an adventurous side. I've been a rodeo clown, I've raced sled dogs in the Arctic, and I've broken more bones than I can count. But more than anything else, I want to be remembered as the guy who lived his life to the fullest with and for my family and friends. That's what I want my legacy to be."

"When I'm Gone" is the debut single from Morgan's new record, which will be released early next year on Black River Entertainment.

Here are the full lyrics: 

Written by Steven Dale Jones and Justin Ebach. Produced by Byron Gallimore. Released by Black River Entertainment in September 2015.

My last breath, I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets, no hope of turning back that dial
Let the story I've written be something worth leaving behind

When I'm gone, Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, And I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone
Oh, oh
When I'm Gone

Tell him I left that town, but it never left my soul
That I settled down, but I never got old
If the house was packed and we all raised a glass as the credits rolled

My last breath, I wanna take with a smile
And no regrets, no hope of turning back that dial
Let the story I've written be something worth leaving behind

When I'm gone, Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on
When I'm gone

Time don't last forever
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Time don't last forever
Oh-oh-oh

When I'm Gone (when I'm gone)
Did my life go on, go on, go on?

When I'm gone, tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
When I'm gone, tell them I stared down all my fears
That I danced on a wire, and I walked through a fire
That I lived every moment 'til that moment retired
So my life goes on, goes on
When I'm gone
When I'm gone

Oh, my last breath I wanna take with a smile

Oh oh oh When I'm Gone...
Oh oh oh When I'm Gone...
