Lyrics and translation
Original
Well, long as that cemetery still got holes at
Flower shop crossroads, gonna stay in business
Y'all, this Christmas was depressing
Without dad dare to say it's a blessing
Don't mean to get you down, y'all
Crying in your crown, y'all
We ain't nothing but toys in this town, y'all
Ain't no secret that we can't stick around, y'all
When my time runs out, y'all
Tell my baby she'll be okay
Throw my ashes in Mobile Bay
Read a little word by the water
Get my guns and guitars and my sons and daughters
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me cause I'll be singing
With Jesus, my dad and Johnny Cash
Well, you can bet your ass I'm going
To raise a glass with a man in black
But first I'm going to ask for some water in my heart
Watch Jesus turn it into wine
I've been doing the math, y'all
Life is like a fastball
Hallelujah paid our tabs y'all
There an after party waiting after last call
I won be looking back y'all
Tell my baby she be okay
Throw my ashes in my Mobile bay
Read a little word by the water
Get my guns and guitars in my sons and daughter
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me, cause I'll be singing
With Jesus, My dad and Johnny Cash
Yeah, I'ma thank the sun for saving me
Hug his dad and my dad too
Say, Johnny, did you really know a boy named Sue?
Tell the truth
Tell my baby she'll be okay
Throw my ashes in Mobile Bay
Read a little word by the water
Get my guns and guitars to my sons and daughters
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me cause
I'll be singing with Jesus, My dad and Johnny Cash
