[bodytext] => I really didn’t want to take this trip So long I’ve been gone from home A small town didn’t suit me well I had to get out and roam Funerals are hard to go through And I had to go for this one I’ll get to see some old friends of mine But I’ll really be glad when it’s done We left the airport for the long ride home Down the country roads and beautiful scenery I’d forgotten how pretty the trees can be And the fields in all of their greenery At last we pull on to the cemetery trail I can see all my friends with tears in their eyes As we pull up beside the gravesite I can hear the wails as they cry The hearse is opened, the casket in view As my old football buddies step in To carry me to my resting place Beside all the rest of my kin I thought when you died, you left right away But I could see all of this taking place I guess the Lord lets you stay for a while To get one last look at a face The people cried and hugged one another Slowly, they left me alone And, when they were gone, I started to fly Now, I was really going home.
