Backroad Funk

**** Listen to the full Backroad Mix-O-Rama here: **** https://suno.com/playlist/21d62751-ce45-4cac-9e8e-766af0b4a800 (Mmm… baby…) If I don’t make it home… kiss my backroad goodbye. Yeeah. If I fade on that highway, don’t you dare look sad tonight. Put some glitter on your shoulders, babe turn that sorrow into light. I came crawling out the mud, but I stayed lookin’ fiiine… If I die in all my gold, let me shine one… last… time. (Mmm-hmm!) I been close to the edge, but I never lost the groove when the stars don’t wanna sparkle, my hips still know how to move. Ow! Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Put a slow grind on my name! If I leave this world in purple rain, let the funk be what remains! Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Baby, dance like you misbehave Bury me out on that backroad, with a wiggle and a wave! I been cut, I been crossed, but I still got style to spare even heartbreak looks gorgeous when you flip it with some flair. So if I drift into forever, don’t you wear that funeral black wear somethin’ tight and sinful, make the angels look back. If the reaper pulls up smilin’, I’ll say, “Hey there, sugar, hey…” Lean close to that bone-faced fella and teach the boy how to sway. (Yeees Lord!) Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Turn that heartbreak into flame! If I vanish down that backroad, let the funk still call my name! Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Shake the sorrow off your waist Put a party on that dirt road, let the saints catch your taste. (Ohhh listen now…) Children… If I leave this funky kingdom don’t cry for the man I was… Cry for the groove you will miss. (Somebody say…) “Backroad baby!” “Purple dirt!” “Funk my funeral!” Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Yeah, let that backroad shine! If I go draped in gold tonight, that’s still a mighty fine time! Celebrate my liiife, not my grave! Let the disco angels moan Bury me out on that backroad, babe, and funk me all the way home. (Mmm… baby… Don’t mourn me. Just… Shake.)
