  • The kids are in town for a funeral
    So pack the car and dry your eyes
    I know they got plenty of young blood left in 'em
    And plenty nights under pink skies you taught 'em to enjoy

    So clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall
    Like no one's ever been here before or at all
    And don't you mention all the inches that are scraped on the doorframe
    We all know you tiptoed up to 4'1" back in '08

    If you could see 'em now, you'd be proud
    But you'd think they's yuppies
    Your funeral was beautiful
    I bet God heard you comin'

    The kids are in town for a funeral
    And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swingin'
    On that kid out on the river
    You bailed him out, never said a thing about Jesus or the way he's livin'

    If you could see 'em now, you'd be proud
    But you'd think they's yuppies
    Your funeral was beautiful
    I bet God heard you comin'

    If you could see 'em now, you'd be proud
    But you'd think they's yuppies
    Your funeral was beautiful
    I bet God heard you comin'

    The kids are in town for a funeral
    So pack the car and dry your eyes
    I know they got plenty young blood left in 'em
    And plenty nights under pink skies you taught 'em to enjoy

    Recall your hats, erase the claim like who gets to ride shotgun
    Your pocket knife, it went missin', I think we know who got that one
    You used to let her cut the ribbons on all of her own presents
    It made me nervous, but now I see we're just taught different lessons Writer/s: Zachary Lane Bryan
