about

This is my COVID song.

I'm old. I'm fat. If I catch this shit, I AM IN TROUBLE.

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm not in a hurry, but when I'm dead, I'm not going to know that I am dead. It's not dying that frightens me, it's the being dead part.

The money stops when I die. Who is gonna buy the groceries? Who is going to pay the mortgage? What about the light bill? The Amazon bills? How is she going to function when I am gone? Who is going to do the things I did for her? Who’s gonna get on her last nerve? Who’s gonna be there for her when she gets the worries?

That's what keeps me up at night.

lyrics

I ain't afraid of dying,-
I'm just scared of being dead.
With no arms to hold you
And ease your worried head.

And when I'm gone and in the ground,
Who'll take care of you?
And if you should be the first to go,
I don't know what I`ll do

You have been beside me,
for oh so many years.
We've shared so much together,-
the laughter and the tears.

When it's finally time for us
to lay these burdens down
What are we gonna do,-
Without the other one around?

I ain't afraid of dying,-
I'm just scared of being dead.
With no arms to hold you
And ease your worried head.

And when I'm gone and in the ground,
Who'll take care of you?
And if you should be the first to go,
I don't know what I`ll do

Once we were so young,-
but now we're old and gray
And right here by your side,
That's where I want to stay

I have always loved you,
and I always will.
and when I'm dead and gone,
My love will still be here

I ain't afraid of dying,-
I'm just scared of being dead.
With no arms to hold you
And ease your worried head.

And when I'm gone and in the ground,
Who'll take care of you?
And if you should be the first to go,
I don't know what I`ll do
