J. J. Cale - Take Out Some Insurance Lyrics
A man knocked upon my door saidDont you know youre gonna die some dayAnd I got a plan for you man, for when you pass awayWell give to your mother, your kids and your wifeAnd all you have to give in return is your lifeTake out some insurance, insurance todayFor tomorrow will come and take us awayTwo men were gamblin in a parlour one nightWhen a woman walked in with her dress up so tightShe asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her nameThey got up and shot her and went back to their gameTake out some insurance, insurance todayFor tomorrow will come and take us awayThis aint no sad song, dont cry in your beerFor one day will come and we wont be hereSomebody else will take up our gameDifferent place, different nameTake out some insurance, insurance todayFor tomorrow will come and take us awayFor tomorrow will come and take us away
