Verse 1:
Well I wonder which song they're
going to play when we go
I hope it's something quiet
mannered peaceful and slow
When we float out into the ether
Into the everlasting arms
I hope we don't hear
Marley's chains before July
Refrain 1:
Cause the chains I've been
hearing now for most of my life
And the chains I've been hearing
now for most of my life
Chorus:
Did you hear the 59 sound coming
through our grandfather'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?
Verse 2:
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 the
name and the reasons
Refrain 2:
And I know cause we were
kids and we used to hang
And I know cause we were
kids and we used to hang
(Repeat Chorus)

Ain't supposed to die
on a Saturday night
(Repeat Chorus)
