I Don't Go To Funerals

I don't go to funerals, I won't be at mine

I'll be somewhere lookin' back at loved ones left behind

My life has been a wonder and I found my place in time

But I don't go to funerals, and I won't be at mine

I'll be somewhere singin' songs with all those friends of mine

Life is great, but I can't wait to make our memories rhyme

Now those, who've gone before me, will save my place in line

I don't go to funerals, and I won't be at mine

There'll be a big ol' pickin' party when it comes my time

Me and Waylon, John and Chris and our sweetheart Patsy Cline

Merle and Grady and Freddy Powers, and all those pals of mine

But I don't go to funerals, and I won't be at mine

Somewhere, I hear angel voices singin' in the wind

Sayin' how it won't be long 'til time to fly again

Life is sweet and love is good, and we have had a good time

But I don't go to funerals, and I won't be at mine

No, I don't go to funerals, and I sure won't be at mine
