Maybe if I faked my own suicide
I could get away for a while
Leave my clothes on the sandy shore
And a well written note for you to find
Have no fear, shed no tears
I'll be starting a new life far from here
And maybe, in a couple of years
I'll come home for a couple of beers
I'd like to read my premature obituary
Find out what you really thought of me
I'd climb up to the top of the highest tree
And I won't come down for three weeks
I'd count all the black armbands I spy
All the black veils and the ties
I'll be at my funeral in a clever disguise
Counting all the people that cry
Have no fear, shed no tears
I'll be starting a new life far from here
And maybe, in a couple of years
I'll come home for a couple of beers
Have no fear, shed no tears
I'll be starting a new life far from here
And maybe, in a couple of years
I'll come home for a couple of beers
Have no fear, shed no tears
I'll be starting a new life far from here
And maybe, in a couple of years
I'll come home for a couple of beers
I'll come home for a couple of beers
I'll come home for a couple of beers
