Alan Crossland - Will They Bury You With Your Shoes On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you arrive in this world naked and you leave in a suit and tie
Will they bury you with your shoes on when you die?
Makes me feel like a bunch of nothin'
Like there’s somethin' that I must survive
They're dressin’ up the dead like they're still alive
Will they bury you with your shoes on in the end?
I had a crazy uncle who was buried with a violin
I guess they'll cover your head with that guitar in your hand
Oh buddy, line up and kick a little dirt on a friend

[Verse 2]
Well, Grandpa died in 1980 with a derby on his head
It's like, once he was here, but now he's dead
Well, we all paid off the funeral parlor
And some lawyer and the man
Now it's over—did Grandpa lose or win?
You see they carried him 'round in a tube that's made of tin
Oh, they paraded through town like a snake that’s losin’ his skin
And then they found him a hole and stuck old Grandpa in
And then his buddies lined up and kicked a little dirt on a friend

[Fiddle Solo]

[Bridge]
Well, every village has got one
There's one in my hometown
He’s the man with cold hands
And your life brings him down
I feel like I got a number
On my forehead when he's around
He's countin' my days
And the skulls in the graves in the ground
Skulls in the ground
It kinda gets me down
[Outro]
Well, you arrive in this world naked
And you leave in a suit and tie
Will they bury you with your shoes on?
