Lay me down in a wooded field

Plant a bush above my head

Well lay me, lay me down

Don’t go writing on my grave

I’ll have said it all before the end

Lay me, lay me down



And when I’m dead

Please don’t philosophize

Or feel regret

Just remember me when I said

I had one hell of a life,

One hell Of a life

I had one hell of a life



Throw my ashes to the wind

Watch them blow into the sea

Well throw me, throw me in

You can cry up there on the cliff

Scream to heaven, work your grief

But throw me, throw me in

And when I’m dead

Please don’t philosophize

Or feel regret

Just remember me when I said

I had one hell of a life,

One hell Of a life

I had one hell of a life



Fear and guilt accumulate

And the time’s never right to deal with it

Well maybe, maybe now

You can live your life in an endless wait

Or build it high on the present tense

Maybe, maybe now

And when you’re dead

They won’t philosophize

Or feel regret

They’ll remember you when you said

You had one hell of a life,

One hell Of a life

You had one hell of a life



Build it high on serendipity, dipity, dipity, doop, doop, yeah



And when we’re all dead

They won’t philosophize

Or feel regret

They’ll remember us when we said

We had one hell of a life,

One hell Of a life

We had one hell of a life
