[Verse 1]
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet, minor and peaceful and slow
And when we float out into the ether, into the everlasting arms
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
And the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
[Chorus]
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains through the hospital walls?
And 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?
Now 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 words and the song and her name and the reasons
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet, minor and peaceful and slow
And when we float out into the ether, into the everlasting arms
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
And the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
[Chorus]
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains through the hospital walls?
And 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?
Now 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 words and the song and her name and the reasons
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
