Emily Scott Robinson - Overalls şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Emily Scott Robinson

albüm: Traveling Mercies


He wore overalls to meet his king
Took a pack of marlboro reds and his wedding ring
And his fifty year long faithful bride
Held his hand, walked him to the other side
He said honey I'm just so tired
Bein' hooked up to a hundred wires
I wanna be in my own bed
Call the kids around and said
Raise a glass
To my good long life
Don't dress in black
Don't let me see you cry
I'm not afraid
I'm just headed home
And it's time to let me go
I probably shouldn't have survived
April 1945
We buried half my company
And I wonder why it wasn't me
Well that's the year I learned to pray
Just glad to wake up every day
I'm bound to see those boys again
Rollin' dice and cigarettes in heaven
So raise a glass
To my good long life
Don't dress in black
Don't let me see you cry
I'm not afraid
I'm just headed home
And it's time to let me go
They know I kissed the ground after Japan
Came home to be a mailman
Right here in Crossville, Tennessee
I bought this farm, to raise a family
We planned for four, but we had five
Your baby sister was a big surprise
I know I don't have much to show
But I'm the richest man I know
So raise a glass
To my good long life
Don't dress in black
Don't let me see you cry
I'm not afraid
I'm just headed home
And it's time to let me go
It's time to let me go
He wore overalls to meet his king
Took a pack of marlboro reds and his wedding ring
