Take Out Some Insurance (j J Cale) Lyrics

A man knock 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 when we won't be here

 Somebody else will take up our game

 Different place, different name

 

    Take out some insurance, insurance today

    For tomorrow will come and take us away

    For tomorrow will come and take us away
