Well I ain't afraid of dying it's the thought of being dead I wanna go on being me once my eulogy's been read Don't spread my ashes out to sea don't lay me down to rest You can put my mind at ease if you fill my last request Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand put a stiff drink in my hand Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
Just let my headstone be a neon sign Just let it burn in mem'ry of all of my good times Fix me up with a mannequin just remember I like blondes I'll be the life of the party even when I'm dead and gone Prop me up... [ guitar - steel ] Just make your next selection and while you're still in line You can pay your last respects one quarter at a time Prop me up... Prop me up... Oh prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
