The Urich Cafe

There's an old Missouri cafe
Spittin' distance from the highway
Our waitress had the sweetest southern drawl

But she said that there's a legend
You can send someone to heaven
By hanging their picture on the wall
I said ma'am have you told city hall
I don't think she has

I've been around the world and seen it all
But i wouldn't mind going round again
There's so much left to do before my last curtain call
So until my dying day
Don't hang me up at the Urich cafe

There's a teacher who's not teaching
And a preacher who ain't preaching
Cause they were framed by someone that they love

Mystery or superstition
But that wall ain't made for livin'
Cause now they're staring back at us from up above

I've been around the world and seen it all
But i wouldn't mind going round again
There's so much left to do before my last curtain call
So until my dying day
Don't hang me up at the Urich cafe

They say a picture's worth a thousand words
But in Urich, Missouri, they put you in the dirt

I've been around the world and seen it all
But i wouldn't mind going round again
There's so much left to do before my last curtain call
So until my dying day
When I'm lying in my grave
Don't hang me up at the Urich cafe
