Wish I could have taken better
care of my body...
Wish they could have stopped
the cancer sooner...

I'm just a spirit now,
Floating over my own funeral.

If I had my way, I'd pick another church.
At least one that spelled my name right
on the obituary...

I wonder if they knew,
That I truly loved Sonya,
but married Adele out of convenience.

Wish I could have told my brother, Kenny
I forgave him, maybe he wouldnt cry so hard.
Wish I could tell Aunt May that hat is too big.
I wonder if Tara knows the deacons
Are looking up her dress.

Im just a spirit now,
Floating over my own funeral.

I wonder if the choir knows
How much I really hate that song...
Hope they know the Pastor's lying.
I was not that good of a man..

That suit is not the one I would have picked.
My body looks so much smaller,
and that make-up makes me look too light.

Im just a spirit now,
Floating over my own funeral.
Free from pain, free from it all.

Wonder if they know,
In spite of my short time on this earth...
i truly enjoyed it.
I truly loved it all.
