DON'T BURY ME TILL I'M READY
Johnny Paycheck
Don't bury me 'till I'm ready
Don't try to say I'm gonna be missed
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye
Cause I ain't going out like this
Don't wave me goodbye, son, I'll spit in your eye
Cause I ain't going out like this
They tell me I'm too old to cut the mustard
That I should go and rest a spell
They say that I'll be dead any day now
But they don't know this old boy too well
I've spent all my life on the bottom
But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top
But by the grace of God I'm going to go out on the top

you both get dirty;
