Description
Vivid passions wrapped in sarcasm and audacity. Here, there are no tears at gravestones or angelic halos - here, champagne flows freely, and rhinestones glisten on marble. Every line is like a bar story after midnight: noisy, slightly crazy, but with the right aftertaste of freedom. Death is presented not as an ending, but as a continuation of the party, where even Jesus shakes his head and Dolly Parton nods in approval. In the end, what remains is not grief, but laughter and the thought: yes, it was chaotic, but it left behind a fabulous story.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Don't bring me flowers to my grave
Gon' make it rain on my parade
And when I leave, just celebrate
And lick the icing off my cake
I hope my life will make you laugh
Pour me out one last shot of Jack
And put some rhinestones on my tombstone
Save your breath, 'cause I'm alive
My obituary better say
"I was a crazy-ass bitch"
Oh, but at least the life I lived
It made for good stories
Call me anything but boring
Messy, yeah, I know
But I heard y'all love a show
So, fuck it, here you go
But, darling, don't forget that
My obituary better say
"Damn, she left a damn good legacy"
Ah, don't let my hijinks be in vain
Don't let them sanctify my name
You'll say it's sad to see me go
But this ain't my first rodeo
When I reach those pearly gates
And Saint Peter makes me wait
If all my sins make Jesus pissed
Just tell 'em I'm on Dolly's list
Oh, I know
I was a crazy-ass bitch
Oh, but at least the life I lived
It made for good stories
Call me anything but boring
Messy, yeah, I know, but
I heard y'all love a show
So, fuck it, here you go
But, darling, don't forget that
My obituary better say
"Damn, she left a damn good legacy"
You can blame it all on Tennessee
That's where I learned to drink to get drunk
That's where I learned to smoke to get high
That's where I learned to work 9 to 5
That's where I swear that Mama tried
I'm a crazy-ass bitch, yeah
But I know how to live
And I got the best stories
But you could never say I'm boring
I'm messy, yeah, I know
But I heard y'all love a show
So, fuck it, here we go
Don't forget, though
