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've been hearin' now for most of my life And the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
Did you hear the '59 sound Coming through on Grandmama's radio? Did you hear the rattlin' 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 And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Did you hear the '59 sound Coming through on Grandmama's radio? Did you hear the rattlin' 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?
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 Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Did you hear the '59 sound Coming through on Grandmama's radio? Did you hear the rattlin' 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?
