| The widows all dressed in black and we sang
|
| Told stories all about the good ole days
|
| There were hugs to give and a few more tears to cry
|
| Then we closed the lid and we gave him one last ride
|
| And we laid him in the ground
|
| And headed back to town
|
| There were casseroles and pecan pies
|
| Mama’s sweet tea and beer on ice
|
| Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
|
| Preacher clears his throat and then he said
|
| Everybody bow your heads
|
| And just like that everything was blessed
|
| So here’s to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
|
| Yeah such is life
|
| We’re all at the mercy of a butter knife on a plate
|
| Checkered table cloth and I’ll fly away
|
| Keep in mind that it always ends the same
|
| And there’s no love like no potluck left to say
|
| And they’ll lay you in the ground
|
| All headed back to town
|
| And those casseroles and pecan pies
|
| Mama’s sweet tea and beer on ice
|
| Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
|
| Preacher clears his throat and then he says
|
| Everybody bow your heads
|
| And just like that everything is blessed
|
| So here’s to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
|
| If you wanna go to heaven
|
| Better have Jesus in your soul
|
| Make damn well sure
|
| That you get plenty before you go
|
| Those casseroles and pecan pies
|
| Mama’s sweet tea and beer on ice
|
| Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
|
| Preacher clears his throat and then he says
|
| Everybody bow your heads
|
| And just like that everything is blessed
|
| Yeah just like that everything is blessed
|
| So here’s to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
|
| Yeah here’s to death
|
| Here’s to dyin'
|
| Gotta love them deviled eggs |
