"Bury Me In Blue Jeans" lyrics - MIDLAND
Yeah, the finer things
They never really fit me
Ain't no sense in chasin' dollars
That I can't take with me
My favorite truck
Two hundred thousand miles on it
Yeah, when my day comes
It's yours if you want it
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'll be on my way
Ridin' on angel's wings
You know I've always been
A man of simple means
So it don't really matter
Where you lay my bones
When I'm headed home
Bury me in blue jeans
Yeah, these four walls
I know are just on loan
My name's on the mailbox
But the bank still owns
And I ain't tryin' to line my pockets
In some gold rush town
Yeah, 'cause all that gold
Would only weigh me down
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'll be on my way
Ridin' on angel's wings
You know I've always been
A man of simple means
So it don't really matter
Where you lay my bones
When I'm headed home
Bury me in blue jeans
[Bridge:]
All the kings buried with all their things
Rubies and diamond rings
Don't really mean anything, hey
Bury me with my boots up
A life well-lived is a life well-loved
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'll be on my way
Ridin' on angel's wings
You know I've always been
A man of simple means
So it don't really matter
Where you lay my bones
When I'm headed home
Bury me in blue jeans
[Outro:]
All the kings buried with all their things
Rubies and diamond rings
Don't really mean anything, no
