Paroles
[Verse 1]
Don't cry when I die
When it's my time, I probably won't die
I'll just lie down and close my eyes
And think about stuff
[Verse 2]
These eyes got too wide
Seen too much of life's goodbyes
Should've spent less time makin' loot
And spent more time in my birthday suit with you
[Verse 3]
And everybody upstairs, everybody downstairs
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'll be hangin' out with you
Not Jimi Hendrix, Jesus, or the dude
Who played the sheriff in Blazing Saddles
You, not Chris Farley, Mr. Rogers
Oh, I've waited so long
You can finally meet my mom
[Verse 5]
Life is good but love, it's better
Even Bieber ain't forever
We all got to go, you know
So, you might as well go in style
Everybody prayin', everybody singin'
(I'm not gonna)
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'll be hangin' out with you
Not Gilda Radner, Buddha, or the dude
Who had pop rocks and soda at the same time
You, not Jesse James, Paul Newman
And, oh, I've waited so long
You can finally meet my mom
[Verse 7]
I'm not makin' light of things
But who's to say who's right with things like this?
There's so much that we miss
Tryin' so hard to be rich and famous
Pretty and thin, to win
It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young
[Verse 8]
So, forget everything and just be with me here now
For as long as we can
And whoever goes first, save a spot
[Verse 9]
You, not Etta James, Bob Marley
Or the girls who won my heart along the way
You, not Sitting Bull, Ella, or Bach
And I almost forgot
You can finally meet my mom
[Verse 10]
(You can finally meet my mom)
You can finally meet my mom
(You can finally meet my mom)
(You can finally meet my mom)
[Verse 11]
No Steve Jobs or Ty Cobbs
Al Capone or any other mobs
(You can finally meet my mom)
Whitney Houston, no Chet Baker
Andre the Giant or the Undertaker
(You can finally meet my mom)
[Verse 12]
Just you, you can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
(You can finally meet my mom)
(You can finally meet my mom)
