Today

Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia

New Orleans style

Play, me a funeral procession

Second line rhythm, walk me that mile



Find a tomb for my hiding

Oh, let me just rest in there, rest for a while

Make a grand presentation

Oh, all of my family yeah, remember my time



The river is a running, Mississippi mud

My life is good, today



Fly, oh fly 'cause I got somewhere

I gotta be

Doctors and lawyers, with all their money

They won’t find me



The sky’s so big here, Arizona dust

My life is good, today



And I’m so alive now

Oh, it goes so quickly, yeah so many roads

Want to ask for forgiveness

My friends were all with me yeah, I was at home



My heart is so full here and my soul reconciled

My life is good, today



Lay me in flowers, sweet magnolia

New Orleans style

Ooh and play, me a funeral procession

Second line rhythm, walk me that mile, ooh
