John Mellencamp — If I Die Sudden

If I die sudden Please don't tell anyone There ain't nobody that needs to know That I'm gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground Don't be calling no minister I don't need one around Well, my grandma, she told me She'd be waiting at the gate She said that the fix was in And that she's already prayed And the rest of my family Will be waiting there for me too They'd already taken care of my sins And there's nothing for me to do So If I die sudden Please don't tell anyone There ain't nobody that needs to know That I'm gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground Don't be calling no minister I don't need one around I don't need no preacher around [Guitar solo] I got a little bit of money Some papers you might want to see I got a house down in Georgia But let's keep this brief I'm not afraid of dying This life's been right to me I got a whole bunch more than I deserve And now I will be free Yeah, now I will be free So If I die sudden Please don't tell anyone There ain't nobody that needs to know That I'm gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground And don't be calling no minister I don't need one around I don't need no preacher around
