The Dead They Don't Come Back
(One, two, three)
On my way to work, I noticed that
I passed a cemetery, oh, Lord, I held my breath
Dead they don't come back, dead they don't come back
Dead they don't, the dead they don't, dead they don't come back
And on my way to school, I passed that old graveyard
Life is mighty lonely and life is mighty hard
Dead they don't wake up, dead they don't wake up
Dead they don't, the dead they don't, dead they don't wake up
Oh, I'm in my own ride
Measure the distance in time
I can see your teardrops behind that black, black veil
Made me hope for heaven and it made me scared for hell
Dead they all will sleep, dead they all will sleep
Dead they all, the dead they all, the dead they all will sleep
And then from time to time, I think about my grave
When I'm gonna have one and what's it gonna say
It feels good to rest, it's been a long, long day
It's been a long, it's been a long, it's been a long, long day
Oh, I'm in my own ride
Measure the distance in time
And as sure as I was born
I will die
And on my way back home, stopped at your tombstone
Said a prayer for you, I was tired and alone
Said, "Lord, I miss my friend who's underneath my feet
May her soul, oh, may her soul, oh, may her soul rest in peace"
On my way to work, I noticed that
I passed a cemetery, oh, Lord, I held my breath
Dead they don't come back, dead they don't come back
Dead they don't, the dead they don't, dead they don't come back
And on my way to school, I passed that old graveyard
Life is mighty lonely and life is mighty hard
Dead they don't wake up, dead they don't wake up
Dead they don't, the dead they don't, dead they don't wake up
Oh, I'm in my own ride
Measure the distance in time
I can see your teardrops behind that black, black veil
Made me hope for heaven and it made me scared for hell
Dead they all will sleep, dead they all will sleep
Dead they all, the dead they all, the dead they all will sleep
And then from time to time, I think about my grave
When I'm gonna have one and what's it gonna say
It feels good to rest, it's been a long, long day
It's been a long, it's been a long, it's been a long, long day
Oh, I'm in my own ride
Measure the distance in time
And as sure as I was born
I will die
And on my way back home, stopped at your tombstone
Said a prayer for you, I was tired and alone
Said, "Lord, I miss my friend who's underneath my feet
May her soul, oh, may her soul, oh, may her soul rest in peace"
