Texas Funeral by Hop Along Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My son is waiting on me
And he ain't a patient man
Go and get the sheriff
Tell him anything you can
(Just get him)

[Verse 2]
Burned myself on this cast iron panhandle
Long before you came
Love was never the subject
(Couldn't talk about my mother to him)

[Verse 3]
Remember seeing Shirley in the oil fountain?
What a woman dancing!
I just wanted a happy ending
(For your little sister, wherever she is)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t be so sad just 'cause you lost to your old man
Man, man
[Chorus]
'Cause none of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Aren't you sick to death of the word inheritance?
It's with your great-grandparents
You've inherited the wind, fool
I hope you enjoy it
I hope you enjoy it

[Verse 5]
But I'm going out flipping the bird to California--
Keep your melting stars!
I followed all the rules
I wasn't the one who turned the screw so hard

[Pre-Chorus]
We have a great wanting in common
Common, common

[Chorus]
But none of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me
None of this is gonna happen to me within my lifetime
