Is Anybody Gonna Miss You

Once I knew a mean old man, meaner than mean could be,
Kickin' dogs and little children was his cup o'tea.
Came the day that he died, no one prayed for his soul,
Now he's fuel for the devil's fire, burnin' like a piece o'coal.

Is anybody gonna miss you,
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella, too bad he had to die.
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go,
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven, or wish you down below?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh yeah.

There are those who may say, when you're gone you're gone,
And on the other hand, there are those who say that your soul lives on.
I'm not sure, and you're not sure, where the road may lead,
But if there's a light at the end of that tunnel
Get all the help you'll need.

Is anybody gonna miss you,
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella, too bad he had to die.
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go,
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven, or wish you down below?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh yeah.

Every hand that you shake
Is like a savin's bond,
And every smile is a down payment for a ticket to the great beyond.
There's no man on this earth who couldn't use an extra friend,
So tell me what's wrong with a little insurance
When you reach the end.

Is anybody gonna miss you,
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella, too bad he had to die.
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go,
Is anybody gonna pray you up to heaven, or wish you down below?

Is anybody gonna miss you,
Is anybody gonna cry?
Is anybody gonna say he was a nice fella, too bad he had to die.
Who's gonna be your salvation
When it's time to go
