AKennedy got it in a Lincoln
DCaesar got it the bAack
Somebody told me Hank Williams Edied in his Cadillac
AEverybody's gotta go sometime
DSooner or later they call your Aname
DI don't know where yet, but I'm Awilling to bet that
I'm Egoing down in Aflames

Down in F#mflames, Down in Aflames
When the Dgood times end and they Acount my sins
I'm Egoing down in Aflames
[Verse]
AJames Dean bought it on the highway
DMarilyn found it in a Apill
Elvis died – or did he? – they're Elooking for him still
ASome go soft and quiet
DSome go out with a Abang
Well it's Dway too late for the Apearly gates
I'm Egoing down in Aflames
