send my body home - uncle bonsai lyrics

[intro]
now i lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if i should die before i wake
please send my body home

[verse 1]
i don’t like virginia
i went there in the winter
there were good ol’ boys in t-shirts
with a case or two of beer
and though i didn’t show my fear
i could tell that there was danger in their eyes

and these people in the country
look a lot like one another
just like maybe they’re related
to everybody here
and though i didn’t get too near
well, i think that i can generalize

there are people in virginia
who i know are educated
and i’m sure they hardly notice
these neanderthals on wheels

i don’t like alabama
i was there when it was raining
and these good ol’ boys in chevys
leave their m-fflers back at home

there were chickens in the gutters
there was murder in the drive
i was not the first to utter
“let me make it back home dead or alive”

[chorus]
don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t let me lie here
out here alone

don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t say goodbye here
send my body home!

[verse 2]
i don’t like the dakotas
’cause there aren’t any people
an occasional oasis
and some stupid tourist traps
and though i kinda liked the sunsets
i could tell that they were always the same

and these people in the desert
are the same as all the others
saving up for indoor plumbing
with an outhouse in the back

there’s a dinner bell that’s ringing
and the kinfolk will arrive
and you know i’ll break out singing
if i make it to the border alive

[chorus]
don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t let me lie here
out here alone

don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t say goodbye here
send my body home!

[bridge]
there’s a cousin in the bathroom
there’s a cousin in the stable
there’s a cousin at the window
who’s emotionally unable
to be anything but dazzled
when the family -ssembles
and he works so hard at counting
all the cousins he resembles

[verse 3]
and the man who drives the tractor
must have done a bit of drinking
when he ran into the neighbors
just to score some extra points

he was tryn’a hit some pigeon
who was tryn’a survive
and you know i’ll find religion
if i make it to the suburbs alive

[chorus]
don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t let me lie here
out here alone

don’t let me die here
if i should die here
don’t say goodbye here
send my body home!
