Continental Lyrics

Continental J Arnell

Well I believe my death will be quick 'n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

I've driven this old car all my life
Goin' places with my precious wife
But now that she is gone and I am not
This old car is all that I've got

I don't mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin' on my mind that's sacramental
I believe my death will be quick 'n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

Well I know what I am askin' is quite a bit
My last wish is unusual I admit
I realize you have to dig me quite a hole
To fit both me my car 'n' my soul

I don't mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin' on my mind that's sacramental
Well I believe my death will be quick 'n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

Solo

They made 'em in 56 'n' 57
That's how I wanna ride on in to heaven
Just put me behind the wheel and down I go
My funural's gonna be quite a show

Solo

Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Soon I'll be goin' home in God I trust
Now I'm flyin' down the road I can't be late
I know my wife is waitin' by the gate

I don't mean to be sentimental
But I got somethin' on my mind that's sacramental
I believe my death will be quick 'n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental

Yeah I believe my death will be quick 'n' accidental
And I want you to bury me in my Continental
Yeah in my Continental
