John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.

A man knocked upon my door said
"Don't you know you're gonna die some day
And I got a plan for you man, 
For when you pass away
We'll give to your mother, 
Your kids and your wife
And all you have to give 
In return is your life"
Take out some insurance, 
Insurance today
For tomorrow will come 
And take us away
Two men were gamblin' 
In a parlour one night
When a woman walked in 
With her dress up so tight
She asked the two gentlemen 
Would they fight for her name
They got up and shot her 
And went back to their game
Take out some insurance, 
Insurance today
For tomorrow will come 
And take us away
This ain't no sad song, 
Don't cry in your beer
For one day will come 
And we won't be here
Somebody else will 
Take up our game
Different place, 
Different name
Take out some insurance, 
Insurance today
For tomorrow will come 
And take us away
For tomorrow will come 
And take us away
