Take Out Some Insurance Lyrics - J. J. Cale

A man knocked upon my door said 

"Don't you know you're gonna die some day 

And I got a plan for you man, for when you pass away 

We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife 

And all you have to give in return is your life" 

Take out some insurance, insurance today 

For tomorrow will come and take us away 

Two men were gamblin' in a parlour one night 

When a woman walked in with her dress up so tight 

She asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her name 

They got up and shot her and went back to their game 

Take out some insurance, insurance today 

For tomorrow will come and take us away 

This ain't no sad song, don't cry in your beer 

For one day will come and we won't be here 

Somebody else will take up our game 

Different place, different name
