Cold Cold Ground Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MrsShankland 

Cover art for Cold Cold Ground lyrics by Tom Waits

Actually, this song reminds me of the South and old-fashioned (or stereotypical) Southern lifestyle.

The gun toting, drinking, "whole box of rebel" as in rebel flag, bible & a rope.

And it sounds like the man this song is about, is digging his own grave so-to-speak with his actions. Being reclusive and shady, along with what I mentioned above.

But, this is just my interpretation.
