Lyrics:

(Lyle Lovett)I went to a funeralLord it made me happySeeing all those peopleI ain't seenSince the last timeSomebody diedEverybody talkingThey were telling funny storiesSaying all those thingsThey ain't saidSince the last timeSomebody diedBut you take a look around youDon't it seem like something's missingI said something that weren't missingLord the last timeSomebody diedYou took him from the last timeTo that hallowed groundI'm praying take me to the next time LordSo I can hang aroundThen the people start to lookingAnd some of them start cryingAnd all the little childrenLord they're scaredBecause they ain't never seenA dead man beforeYou took him from the last timeTo that hallowed groundI'm praying take me to the next time LordSo I can hang aroundHe's swimming through that JordanGoing to the other sideBut if it's all the same to you LordI think I'll stay dryNow it's church on SundayIt's a bar on Friday nightIt's work on MondayThe preacher Lord you know he might singHallelujahSing hallelujahSing hallelujahSing hallelujahHe's got church on SundayAnd he got drunk the night beforeAnd he got his good gal when he got homeThe preacher said he wants some more of thatHallelujahSing hallelujahSing hallelujahSing hallelujahNow if you want to get to heavenLet me tell you what to doYou better grease your foot up buddyWith that mutton stewAnd when the devil comes after youWith them greasy handsY
