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
