《From Crib To Coffin》歌词

[00:00:16] I used to be a better man

[00:00:24] But the regret came and here I am

[00:00:32] I used to walk outside my door

[00:00:39] But I don't go outside anymore

[00:01:03] When will they carry me to my grave

[00:01:10] So I can pay for the things my hands have made

[00:01:18] Two sons will take my body

[00:01:21] And place it in the ground

[00:01:27] And I hope they know to be nothing like me

[00:01:40] No nothing like me

[00:01:49] My Blood is tainted with bitterness

[00:01:53] I want it out I want it out of me

[00:01:57] Oh the taste of my inheritance

[00:02:01] How I have fallen the hills will cover me

[00:02:05] You too will become weak

[00:02:07] You too will become weak

[00:02:20] The trees are green what happens when they turn dry

[00:02:27] The trees are green what happens when they turn dry

[00:02:34] We chose our words and threw them towards the sky

[00:02:41] The trees were green now they have all turned dry

[00:04:53] There was a bird

[00:04:56] Whose wings were crushed by a windshield

[00:05:02] So fast to the ground

[00:05:05] The roadside it found as it's eyes closed

[00:05:12] I heard the driver say as she pulled away

[00:05:17] What could I have done The worst is over

[00:05:22] I thought to myself with risk to our health

[00:05:26] No one ever offers me help

[00:06:18] When we were boys

[00:06:21] We chased through neighbors' fields

[00:06:23] We could run forever and I swore to my friends

[00:06:30] Their lives I would defend as a superhero

[00:06:37] But age finds the lust and gives it your trust

[00:06:42] And begs your devotion in trade for discretion

[00:06:47] The years play out as days as those friends pass away

[00:06:51] But you are taken care of there is always television
