Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
|
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
|
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
|
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
|
|
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
|
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
|
|
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
|
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
|
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
|
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
|
|
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
|
See, I was playing a show down the road
|
When your spirit left your body.
|
And they told me on the front lawn.
|
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
|
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
|
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
|
I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

Young boys, young girls,

Young boys, young girls,

Young boys, young girls,
|
Young boys, young girls,
|
|
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
|
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,

Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
