Your Irish Funeral

lyrics

Your Irish Funeral

A big church on outskirts of town
In the crisp Indiana air
There were so many people there
Most you never knew
It was still nice that that they showed up

I know that your mother means well
I know how much she loves you
And how little she could do
And how hard she tried
And how she never gave up

All those uniforms and those white robes
Those hip modern Catholic hymns
I pictured you in the pew
With a bottle of booze
Saying “tell me that this ain’t a sin”

But at your Irish funeral
All the people that you really knew
Would be high as hell
At your house on the hill
Singing (Jeff Buckley, Avett Brothers, Paul Simon, your favorite) songs above you

We’d tool our way around town
Climb up under the old Disney bridge
We’d hit 41 then 3 Clubs
Probably drive my truck into a ditch

The room was rightfully heavy and sad
I was just pissed off
I said some hard things
Some that needing saying
I feel less like that now

And they prayed and they praised, and they cried
And they lined up to have a last view
But when the priest and the like
Spoke about your life
Weren’t no one resembling you
