We all sang Country music we all lived it right up till the end
    Death was just a new beginning cause were up here at it again

   Did you know that the Lord drives a 58 Ford and loves Country music as well
   The Devil's playing hip hop from his toyota corrola now I know why they call it Hell
   
   One Christmas eve the Devil received an old shiney black martin guitar
    He wasn't impressed at this attempt at a joke attached to it was a hand written note
 
 Merry Christmas Mr.Devil I'm Johnny Cash To you I'm The man in Black
   I knew you were behind me for 49 plus years that guitar took you right off my back

  We may have stopped breathing stopped thinking about leaving where else would we rather be
    In the back of our minds we left something behind we all wondered what it could be 
It's your hearts that you long and their where they belong back in Nashville Tennesse
   
At a very young age you pictured that stage country music was part of your soul
   If your given a gift dont set it adrift we'd hate to see you shovelling coal        

    

    We asked the good Lord if he didnt mind if we made a bet on the next one to go
    Waylon,Conway,Merle and I made our picks St.Pete was holding the dough
 
  
Then the Lord says you all got it right George Jones passed 2 hours ago
   My deepest regrets on losing your bets St. Pete  said George was a no show
 
   We may have stopped breathing but we like what were seeing Nashvilles alive and well
   If not for the fans filling these stands your next venue'Now Paying in Hell'


     When I stopped breathing I was sad to be leaving so many people I'd like to Thank
     I had a wonderful career and even up here the angels  just call me 'Hank'
