You Can't Box Me In

Long before that red dirt hits my face

And they bury these old bones in a cold dark grave

My name may be chiseled on a stone in Pleasant Hill

But that hole in the ground can't keep my body still

You can put me in a box but I won't stay

Glory hallelujah, I'll fly away

Put me six feet under, notify my next of kin

You can lay me out but you can't box me in

Let me down, easy boys, you better step aside

Gonna be some shakin' goin' on at this grave site

Get a grip on these handlebars, that carry me

Call me gone, but I'm leavin' for eternity

You can put me in a box but I won't stay

Glory hallelujah, I'll fly away

Put me six feet under, notify my next of kin

You can lay me out but you can't box me in

Before that long black limousine unloads

I'll be talkin' with my savior

Walkin' on streets of gold

You can put me in a box but I won't stay

Glory hallelujah, I'll fly away

Put me six feet under, notify my next of kin

You can lay me out but you can't box me in

I'll meet you over yonder when the saints go marchin' in

You can lay me out but you can't box me in

Oh no, you can lay me out but you can't box me in
