Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia   New Orleans style   Play, me a funeral procession   Second line rhythm, walk me that mile      Find a tomb for my hiding   Oh, let me just rest in there, rest for a while   Make a grand presentation   Oh, all of my family yeah, remember my time      The river is a running, Mississippi mud   My life is good, today      Fly, oh fly 'cause I got somewhere   I gotta be   Doctors and lawyers, with all their money   They won?t find me      The sky?s so big here, Arizona dust   My life is good, today      And I?m so alive now   Oh, it goes so quickly, yeah so many roads   Want to ask for forgiveness   My friends were all with me yeah, I was at home      My heart is so full here and my soul reconciled   My life is good, today      Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia   New Orleans style   Ooh and play, me a funeral procession   Second line rhythm, walk me that mile, ooh
