lyrics

When I go don't bury me in some old timer's suit
Cause you know Sunday's best never fit on me
Strike a match, light me up, everybody raise your cup
Send me off to the lord in my blue jeans

Someday I'll be going away
To that final destination, beyond them pearly gates
Before I do promise me this day
You'll let me go let me go my own way

When I go don't bury me in some old timer's suit
Cause you know Sunday's best never fit on me
Strike a match, light me up, everybody raise your cup
Send me off to the lord in my blue jeans

A day will come when I'll meet the lamb
I'll see him face to face, in that promised land
I'll walk right up and shake his holy hand
As I am, as I am, as I am

When I go don't bury me in some old timer's suit
Cause you know Sunday's best never fit on me
Strike a match, light me up, everybody raise your cup
Send me off to the lord in my blue jeans

One day you'll be waiving to me
As I stumble across the Jordan, into eternity
But before I go, before the day of my reprieve
Let's eat, drink, laugh, dance and sing

When I go don't bury me in some old timer's suit
Cause you know Sunday's best never fit on me
Strike a match, light me up, everybody raise your cup
Send me off to the lord in my blue jeans
