Be Good When I'm Gone

Try to be good when I'm gone Though nothing you could do would be that wrong I just wish it didn't have to be so long But try to be good when I'm gone, when I'm gone I'm sorry I can't stop to listen But I've got so much to do and I've got some place to be The house looks like the aftermath of a hurricane I hope it stays that way My timing couldn't be any worse if I tried But I find it gets easier in time Try to be good when I'm gone Though nothing you could do would be that wrong I just wish it didn't have to be so long But try to be good when I'm gone, when I'm gone I wonder if you ever wonder If I'm somewhere I'd rather be Doing something I'd rather do The suitcase always starts a countdown I know it's ticking away But it's moving too slow for me My timing couldn't be any worse if I tried But I find it gets easier in time Try to be good when I'm gone Though nothing you could do would be that wrong I just wish it didn't have to be so long But try to be good when I'm gone, when I'm gone
