(Lyle Lovett)

I went to a funeral

Lord it made me happy

Seeing all those people

I ain't seen

Since the last time

Somebody died



Everybody talking

They were telling funny stories

Saying all those things

They ain't said

Since the last time

Somebody died



But you take a look around you

Don't it seem like something's missing

I said something that weren't missing

Lord the last time

Somebody died



You took him from the last time

To that hallowed ground

I'm praying take me to the next time Lord

So I can hang around



Then the people start to looking

And some of them start crying

And all the little children

Lord they're scared

Because they ain't never seen

A dead man before



You took him from the last time

To that hallowed ground

I'm praying take me to the next time Lord

So I can hang around



He's swimming through that Jordan

Going to the other side

But if it's all the same to you Lord

I think I'll stay dry



Now it's church on Sunday

It's a bar on Friday night

It's work on Monday

The preacher Lord you know he might sing



Hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah



He's got church on Sunday

And he got drunk the night before

And he got his good gal when he got home

The preacher said he wants some more of that



Hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah



Now if you want to get to heaven

Let me tell you what to do

You better grease your foot up buddy

With that mutton stew

And when the devil comes after you

With them greasy hands

Y
