lyrics

Early Morning Funeral
by Bobby Dove and Eric Sandmark

He had an early morning funeral
there was so much grief and sorrow
but all that he could think about
was rock and roll tomorrow

All his fans last night were slayed
they died for every note he played
and in the early morning light
he's gonna bury just right

His suit pockets lined with beer
there was a buzzing in his ear
was it the crying of the family
or the mourning widow Emily

With an economy of words
he blew away the birds
or was it just a spring chill
on that early morning funeral

Last night his hips were shakin'
but today his body's achin'
he stretched out his guitar cables
from jumping on bar tables

The congregation sang right over
the pulsing beat of his hangover
yeah he had to take a Demerol
for that early morning funeral

He went through all his Elvis poses
while laying out a spray of roses
as they lowered down the coffin
he'd seen this show too often

He had an early morning funeral
there was so much grief and sorrow
but all that he could think about
was rock and roll tomorrow
yeah all that he could think about
was rock and roll tomorrow
