JOHN MELLENCAMP - If I Die Sudden lyrics

rate me

If I die sudden<br />

Please don't tell anyone<br />

There ain't nobody that needs to know<br />

That I'm gone<br />

Just put me in a pine box<br />

Six feet underground<br />

Don't be calling no minister<br />

I don't need one around<br />

<br />

Well my grandma she told me<br />

She'd be waiting at the gate<br />

She said that the fix was in<br />

And that she's already prayed<br />

And the rest of my family<br />

Will be waiting there for me too<br />

They'd already taken care of my sins<br />

And there's was nothing for me to do<br />

<br />

So If I die sudden<br />

Please don't tell anyone<br />

There ain't nobody that needs to know<br />

That I'm gone<br />

Just put me in a pine box<br />

Six feet underground<br />

Don't be calling no minister<br />

I don't need one around<br />

I don't need no preacher around<br />

<br />

I got a little bit of money<br />

Some papers you might want to see<br />

I got a house down in Georgia<br />

But let's keep this brief<br />

I'm not afraid of dying<br />

This life's been right to me<br />

I got a whole bunch more than I deserve<br />

And now I will be free<br />

Yeah now I will be free<br />

<br />

So If I die sudden<br />

Don't tell anyone<br />

There ain't nobody that needs to know<br />

That I'm gone<br />

Just put me in a pine box<br />

Six feet underground<br />

And don't be calling no minister<br />

I don't need one around<br />

I don't need no preacher around</
