Bury me in Georgia
Mhm
Mhm
10 miles outta Chattanooga
South of that state line
There’s a no-name road off Highway 2
Just past the welcome sign
It’s where I was born, it’s where I was raised
Ain’t sayin’ I’m ready yet
But that’s the place I wanna be after my last breath
Bury me in Georgia
Let me rest in peace
Underneath the pines, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where my roots run deep (Where my roots run deep)
When it’s my day, put me in that clay
And remember what I told ya
When I die, bury me in Georgia
Mhm
Yeah, I don’t care what color my suit is
Or what shoes y’all put on my feet
I don’t care how many show up, yeah
Or who reads my eulogy
Just take me out to that graveyard
Sing a send-me-home song
Put “Go Dawgs” on my headstone
And pile that red dirt on
Bury me in Georgia
Let me rest in peace
Underneath the pines, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where my roots run deep (Where my roots run deep)
When it’s my day, put me in that clay
And remember what I told ya
When I die, bury me in Georgia
Georgia
Hell, yeah
Check this out
For my final will and testament
Let this be my last request
Leave it all to my family
You already know what’s next
Yeah, bury me in Georgia
Bury me in Georgia
Let me rest in peace
Underneath the pines, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where my roots run deep (Where my roots run deep)
When it’s my day, put me in that clay
And remember what I told ya
When I die, bury me in Georgia
Mhm
Yeah, that’s funky right there
Bury me in Georgia (In Georgia)
