Fancy Funeral Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

Some think a fancy funeral will be worth every cent 

But every dime or nickel is money better spent 

Better spent on groceries or covering the bills 

Instead of little luxuries and unnecessary frills 

Lovely yellow daffodils and lacy pillow fringe 

Pretty little angels for everyone to see 

Lily of the valley and long black limousines 

It's three or four months' salaries just to pay for all those things 

So don't but a fancy funeral, it's not worth it in the end 

Goodbyes can still be beautiful without the money that you spend 

There's no amount of riches that will bring back what you've lost 

To satisfy your wishes, no way to justify the cost
