I am a single artist. I sing with several bands in southern Oklahoma. I consider myself first a songwriter. And people here know me first as a songwriter. I sing well enough to not embarrass myself.

Story behind the song
I think everybody asks this question sooner or later. I was lying on a hospital bed when I got to thinking about the time I had left and what lay ahead.
Lyrics
When They Close The Lid Chorus When they close the lid on my smilin' face When they lay me down in the ground When they finally say that savin' grace Will the Lord see fit to keep me around Verse Someday when I’m all alone and dying I wonder how it will really be Will all my troubles be forgiven Will my soul be lost eternally When all around me there is sorrow And the music is playin' soft and low Will I get a second chance tomorrow Or is it too late to save my soul Chorus When they close the lid on my smilin' face When they lay me down in the ground When they finally say that savin' grace Will the Lord see fit to keep me around Verse Will St Peter be waiting at the pearly gates When I show up to toe the line Will someone be there to wash my sins away When I finally run out of time Even though I've been a sinner Will St Peter stand aside and let me in Or will he refuse to let me enter Will I find myself a loser once again Chorus When they close the lid on my smilin' face When they lay me down in the ground When they finally say that savin' grace Will the Lord see fit to keep me around Will the Lord see fit to keep me around Ó2006, Ashby
