This song was written many years ago in a way that surprised me at the time. I remember sitting down with the guitar and my little cassette tape recorder. I pushed record and then began to play. This song came out almost exactly like you'll hear on this recording. One of the few times when I felt like a song was given to me instead of written by me.
It's a simple little song that always makes me smile.
Love to all of you!

When I’m Here With You
Words & Music by John Barrett & JW Brown

Well when I die just bury me
Wherever you please, wherever you please
And I hope you wont’ be needin me

Yeah when I die and rise above
Just cover my body with the cold damp mud
It don’t matter to me, it don’t matter to me

Well it don’t matter to me you know
I lose my body and I’ll use my soul
It don’t matter to me, it don’t matter to me

But when I’m here with you you know
Everything matters and it goes so slow
When I’m Here With You

Well when I die just bury me
Wherever you please, wherever you please
And I hope you wont’ be needin me
