Letra Since the last time Lyle Lovett

Since the last time

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...
