I don't go to funerals, I won't be at mine
I'll be somewhere looking back at love ones left behind
My life has been a wonder and I found my place in time
But I don't go to funerals, I won't be at mine

I'll be somewhere singing songs with all those friends of mine
Life is great but I can't wait to make our memories rhyme
And those who've gone before me will save my place in line
I don't go to funerals, I won't be at mine

There'll be a big ol' pickin' party when it comes my time
Me and Waylon, Jon and Chris, and our sweet heart Patsy Cline
Merle and Grady and, Freddie Powers and all those pals of mine
But I don't go to funerals, I won't be at mine

Somewhere I hear angel voices singing in the wind
Saying 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, I won't be at mine
No, I don't go to funerals and I sure won't be at mine
