Lifetime Underground William Elliott Whitmore

I've played in bars and nursing homes
And train station's out west
Carnivals and backyard fires
And everywhere else in between

Bless the ones who help the cause
And damn those hearts of stone
Couches, floors, and fold out beds
Just thankful for a place to lay my head

I miss my farm and family
The hills and the woods
I got a girl back there who's good to me
And I'd be there right now if I could

I spent a lifetime underground
And I don't want no grave
Just throw my ashes in the field
And hope there's some soil left to save

I just hope there's some soil left to save
