Lyle Lovett - Since The Last Time текст песни

I went to a funeral

Lord it made me happy

Seeing all those people

I aint seen

Since the last time

Somebody died

Everybody talking

They were telling funny stories

Saying all those things

They aint said

Since the last time

Somebody died

But you take a look around you

Dont it seem like somethings missing

I said something that werent missing

Lord the last time

Somebody died

You took him from the last time

To that hallowed ground

Im praying take me to the next time lord

So I can hang around

Then the people start to looking

And some of them start crying

And all the little children

Lord theyre scared

Because they aint never seen

A dead man before

You took him from the last time

To that hallowed ground

Im praying take me to the next time lord

So I can hang around

Hes swimming through that jordan

Going to the other side

But if its all the same to you lord

I think Ill stay dry

Now its church on sunday

Its a bar on friday night

Its work on monday

The preacher lord you know he might sing

Hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Hes got church on sunday

And he got drunk the night before

And he got his good gal when he got home

The preacher said he wants some more of that

Hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Now if you want to get to heaven

Let me tell you what to do

You better grease your foot up buddy

With that mutton stew

And when the devil comes after you

With them greasy hands

You just slide on over to the promised land

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Now there was two little imps

And they was black as tar

And they was trying to get to heaven

In an electric car

And that car wheel slipped

On down the hill

Instead of going to heaven

They went to jacksonville

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah

Thank you, youve been so nice

All my friends they came

Now close the lid down tightly

And quit crying

Because when they close them

They all look the same

And grab hold of the handle

It wont be too heavy

And take me to the graveyard

I went to a funeral

And lord it made me happy

Seeing all those people

I aint seen

Since the last time

Somebody...
