If, God Forbid
Lyrics copyright 2014 by Rick Miller
If, God forbid, you came down with a cough
And If, God forbid, your cough did not get better
And If, God forbid, you leave behind a son or daughter
And a sad-eyed widow living in the world all alone
You could go end over end in a burning car wreck
You could die in a hunting accident, you could fall and
break your neck
You could catch a dose of polio and Spanish Flu
If, God forbid, these things should happen to you
Don’t you want to know, that your loved ones will be safe
Do you have a plan in place?
If, God forbid, you fall asleep at the wheel
And If, God forbid, a semi-truck rolls over
And If, God forbid, you were the family’s sole provider
Leaving sad-eyed orphans living in the world all alone
You could be burning and burning and burning, then dead
You could die of a stomach parasite
You could fall and crack your head
You could catch a dose of polio and smallpox too
If, God forbid, these things should happen to you
Don’t you want to know, that your loved ones will be safe
Do you have a plan in place?
We can sell you peace of mind
We can sell you peace of mind
