First will and testament

lyrics

There is a road
A golden road so close to me
It is lined with beautiful trees
Spanish moss hangs from tired limbs
Heavy from last nights rain
Disguising that road from me again

There is a road
That i will take for the rest of my life
With my children and my wife
But for now i wander
Alone in the woods
Darkness blinds me but i should
Find that road soon.

I will find that road. I will find that golden road.

When I die Do not bury me
Or waste good flesh In a crematory
Don’t sprinkle my ashes Off a mountain or cliff or into the ocean
That would be misapplication

Instead place my corpse at the side of the street
Let me lay down in the thick Georgia heat
I’ll start to decay in the mid afternoon sun
To lie there as an offering the stillness
The buzzards descend as soon as their eyes
See my sprawl and deliciousness rise
Some fine fleshy feast
For a beautiful unappreciated beast

Heaven ain't no place i’m going when i die
Heaven is a bird flying in the sky
Heaven is my child staring in my eye
Heaven is a river cold against my thigh
Heaven is an ocean salt stinging my eyes
