Continental Songtext

Continental J Arnell

Well I believe my death will be quick ′n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

I′ve driven this old car all my life
Goin' places with my precious wife
But now that she is gone and I am not
This old car is all that I've got

I don′t mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin′ on my mind that's sacramental
I believe my death will be quick ′n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

Well I know what I am askin′ is quite a bit
My last wish is unusual I admit
I realize you have to dig me quite a hole
To fit both me my car 'n′ my soul


I don't mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin' on my mind that′s sacramental
Well I believe my death will be quick ′n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

They made ′em in 56 'n′ 57
That's how I wanna ride on in to heaven
Just put me behind the wheel and down I go
My funural′s gonna be quite a show

solo

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Soon I'll be goin' home in God I trust
Now I′m flyin′ down the road I can't be late
I know my wife is waitin′ by the gate

I don't mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin′ on my mind that's sacramental
I believe my death will be quick ′n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

Yeah I believe my death will be quick 'n′ accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental
Yeah in my Continental
