The Dead They Don't Come Back Lyrics

On my way to work I noticed that
I passed the cemetery, oh lord I held my breath
The 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
The dead they don't wake up.

I, I am on a ride,
Measured in distance and time.

And I can see your teardrops, from behind that black-black veil,
and it made me hope for heaven, and it made me scared for hell
The dead they always sleep.

And from time-to-time, I think about my grave
When I'm gonna have one, and what`s it gonna say?
"O, it feels good to rest, its been a long, long day."

O, I am on a ride,
Measured in distance, and time.
and as sure as I was born, I will die.

And on my way back home, I 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 has soul, o may his soul, may his soul rest in peace.
