Lyrics
R.I.P. ME
Rick Amburgey, Chris Sligh
VERSE 1:
This morning I got the news
Another friend gone way too soon
His family’s sad, his friends are mad
And no one knows what to do
Got me thinking ‘bout
How I think it would all play out
When the day I pass away finally comes around
I didn’t like the way it would go in my best estimate
So let this be my last will and testament
CHORUS:
When it’s RIP me, I want my hearse to be an F-150
Blarin’ Diffie and Keith, stopping traffic up and down main street
I want an open bar at the grave site
Friends smokin’ Pall Malls and drinking moonshine
I want ‘em going till the late night disturbing a little peace
When it’s RIP me
VERSE 2:
I want my coffin draped in a flag
Number three in red & black
I hope my friends raise hell, praise Dale
And do a whole lotta looking back
Only one damn rule: no crying
I’ll be graduating, not dying
It ain’t a funeral, it’s a party
And there’s some funny stories to tell
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And when I get to heaven, it’ll be by the skin of my teeth
So ‘tween now and then I got some life to live
To try to leave that legacy, so …
REPEAT CHORUS
