Lyrics
10 Feet Under
Way out west, don’t remember when
He said goodbye to his momma and boarded that train
“So get ready” he said, “I’m gonna come on through”
Ain’t nobody try to stop me, gonna show ‘em just what to do

First stop Paris, don’t stay too long
Falls ill with the blues and being alone
Doctor knows what to do
On his feet come morning and off to start anew

Every day’s a show
We’re passing our last mile
And all I really know
Is to make you smile
For a while

Along comes a man wears a black top hat
Stretches out his hand, leads you cross the track
So be steady he said, you know my grip is true
Here goes nothing, I suppose his trust just grew

Hears the whistle blowing not too far away
Not fast enough to escape that day
Said, seems my days are through
Go on, wake St. Peter, I got no more work to do

Finally got my piece of rest
One last curtain call

I’ll be 10 feet under but you’re never gonna see me fall
I’ll be 10 feet under but you’re never gonna see me fall
I’ll be 10 feet under but you’re never gonna see me fall
Freight Train Running Home
The road is long
The wind is strong
But I won’t wait
To be with you

I’ll remake
My mistakes
On my way
I’m coming home

I’m gonna ride to you
I’m gonna ride to you
I’m gonna ride to you
Whistle’s gonna blow
Like a freight train running home

A sinner’s rhyme
Falls in time
As wheels go round
And pound the steel

Things I said
Were never true
Can you forgive?
I’ll be home soon
Happiness Abounds
1, 2, 3
Bury me
But I won’t be forgot
Sing your song
And play along
But don’t expect me to smile

But oh,
Happiness abounds,
When you know you’ve found
The key to misery
But oh,
You’re not half a heart away
Cause every single day
You’re a mystery

So find a place
To hide your face
And watch me walk out on you
Thoughts mistrust
All fall to dust
When I am looking at you

As I said...
1, 2, 3
Bury me
Now I return to Earth
I sing my song
A little too long
As last applause is heard
