Heaven is a place where people die pretty

Stars don't lie and there's cash in the kitty

Running from the rocks, there's water for the lips

To ease your mouth and bathe your fist

There's no need for trouble when the road's all down

Nobody's out of work cause the mimes in town

The circus has been here twice already

My throwing arm is good and my heart is steady.
F5 C5 F5 C5
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun
A5 C5 G5
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
A5 C5 D5
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field

In an Autumn field
Tell my momma not to worry
The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny
and I'm well known roundabout
The local pick pocket is a layabout
Tell my daddy oh there's no need for washing
They do it in your sleep when you're not watching
I've already had the neighbors here
Johnny Cash came around and we split a beer
I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
In an Autumn field
The girls up here sure look swell
They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell
The local priest says there's no need for cheatin'
The local wags call it meetin' and a greetin'
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field.
