Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia
New Orleans style
Play, me a funeral procession
Second line rhythm, walk me that mile
Find a tomb for my hiding
Oh, let me just rest in there, rest for a while
Make a grand presentation
Oh, all of my family yeah, remember my time
The river is a running, Mississippi mud
My life is good, today
Fly, oh fly 'cause I got somewhere
I gotta be
Doctors and lawyers, with all their money
They won't find me
The sky's so big here, Arizona dust
My life is good, today
And I'm so alive now
Oh, it goes so quickly, yeah so many roads
Want to ask for forgiveness
My friends were all with me yeah, I was at home
My heart is so full here and my soul reconciled
My life is good, today
Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia
New Orleans style
Ooh and play, me a funeral procession
Second line rhythm, walk me that mile, ooh
