Just like the song, legendary American music artist and songwriter Mac Davis will be buried in his hometown of Lubbock, TX, and in a pair of jeans, his wife of 38 years Lise Davis has confirmed. One of Mac Davis’s signature songs concludes with the line, “And when I die you can bury me in Lubbock Texas in my jeans.” And when he is laid to rest, this request will become a reality.

Mac Davis died on Tuesday, September 29th at the age of 78 during heart surgery in Nashville where he was living at the time. On Monday, October 5th, he will be laid to rest at the Lubbock Cemetery in a private ceremony. Though the public will not be able to attend, they’re encouraged to line up east of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Canyon Lake Drive near the cemetery entrance at about 12:30 p.m. with signs and such to offer Mac Davis a final farewell.
