Burry Me In My Scrubs

(Heartfelt Country Ballad) Verse 1 I’ve held trembling hands at midnight, When the pain wouldn’t let ‘em sleep, Sat beside a lonely bedside, And promised secrets I would keep. I’ve laughed through old war stories, Heard memories faded by time, And when they couldn’t find the words, I’d help them find the rhyme. Verse 2 I’m an CNA, turning pillows, Helping folks get dressed each day, Bringing breakfast, sharing smiles, Finding little ways to pray. The LVNs pass medications, Keeping pain and worries low, And the RNs watch over everything, Making sure we’re good to go. Chorus So bury me in my scrubs someday, Don’t put me in satin white. ‘Cause if Heaven’s got a nursing home, I’ll be working my first night. There’ll be someone needing comfort, Someone scared and all alone, And I can’t rest if there’s a resident Without a hand to hold. Yeah, bury me in my scrubs someday, ‘Cause caring’s all I’ve ever known. Verse 3 The CNAs answer call lights, Lift the spirits when they’re down, The LVNs keep things running, Always making their rounds. The RNs guide the whole team, Making plans and checking care, And the therapy crew keeps folks moving, Showing them somebody cares. Bridge Maybe Heaven has long hallways, With rocking chairs beneath the trees, Where old sweethearts find each other, And aching hearts are finally free. But if there’s one soul sitting lonely, Wondering if somebody sees, Lord, save a pair of scrubs for me, ‘Cause that’s where I’ll always be. Final Chorus So bury me in my scrubs someday, With my stethoscope nearby, ‘Cause even when my shift is over, I won’t stop when I reach the sky. There’ll be angels needing helpers, And saints needing company, And I’ll be making rounds in Heaven, Just like they taught me down here. Yeah, bury me in my scrubs someday, ‘Cause caring is who I’ll always be. Outro When they ask me why I’m working, After I’ve already earned my wings, I’ll smile and say, “I’ve still got residents to check on… and a few hearts left to mend.”
