"Cat In A Hat" lyrics

You can keep your long black Cadillac
I don't need no line of cars
What my headstone says
When I'm graveyard dead
Hell, I really ain't thought that far
But on the day I meet my maker
And I'm gold street glory bound
Just do me one solid 'fore you throw me in the ground

Bury this cat in a hat
Lay me down in my roots
Shine the gold on the buckle
Leave the ring 'round the knuckle
Put some polish on these old boots
Send me on up to heaven
Ridin' on a country song
Y'all bury this cat in a hat
When the good lord calls me home

Put this ole boy in a pine box
Starch these denim blues
Tell my pretty little honey to save a little money
Don't worry 'bout a brand new suit naw
When my sand runs out and you pick my crown
Make it 40x midnight black
Even if you gotta cut the the brim plum off the back

Bury this cat in a hat
Lay me down in my roots
Shine the gold on the buckle
Leave the ring 'round the knuckle
Put some polish on these old boots
Send me on up to heaven
Ridin' on a country song
Y'all bury this cat in a hat
When the good lord calls me home

I don't need no fancy flowers
Don't want y'all to shed a tear
But if you really want me to rest in peace
When I head up outta here

Bury this cat in a hat
Lay me down in my roots
Shine the gold on the buckle
Leave the ring 'round the knuckle
Put some polish on these old boots
Send me on up to heaven
Ridin' on a country song
Y'all bury this cat in a hat
When the good lord calls me home

I said ya'll bury this cat in a hat
When the good lord calls me home
Y'all take me home
Yeah, and send me on a country song
Just bury this cat in a hat
