Adios

When I go to join the departed, I don't want my heart jump-started
I don't want nobody bringin' me back here
I don't wanna make some fool a hero
Just leave my pulse right there at zero
I don't want no stranger slobberin' on my lips

If I should die alone in bed, if I should fall and hit my head
One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, cause I won't feel the pain

Don't you go doin' me no favors, doctor, you can shove that respirator
It's been fun, but now it's done, boys, I'm outta here
Don't dress me up, don't comb my hair
When I'm dead as dirt, then I won't care
Buy some plywood at the Home depot; have my brothers build a box
No, I don't want no fancy flowers
People hangin' round my house for hours
Dig a hole on the front lawn and play somethin' that rocks

If I should die alone in bed; if I should fall and hit my head
One thing you gotta promise me, please when I go just let me be
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, I'm goin' where it never rains

No, I'm not talkin' bout California
Lay me out and I'll be back to haunt ya
It's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here
Don't go lookin' for my memoirs, I'll tell it all right now
It's not all that exciting, no need to write it down
I was good, then I was bad, then I was good, then I was bad
Then I was bad, but in the very end then I was good again

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, don't cry for me, I won't feel the pain
Don't you go puttin' yourself in hawk
I'll be with Elvis singin' Jailhouse Rock
Well it's been fun, but now it's done, boys I'm outta here
Adios, Auf Wiedersehen
