[Verse 1]
G D G Well I took a trip down to the graveyard G D G To visit an old friend of mine G D G C His stone was a mess but he couldn’t care less C G D G To complain he was not so inclined
[Verse 2]
G D G I sat in the grass right beside him G D G To tell him some stories I’d saved G D G C When out of the blue a twister came through G D G And that stone on my head it did cave
[Verse 3]
G D G Not sure just how long ‘fore I came to G D G But when I did he was right there G D G C In that bad fitting suit and that one missing tooth C G D G That got knocked out at the Bondville Fair
[Verse 4]
G D G He said “Old friend how have you been?” G D D And I said “I’ve had better days” G D G C He said “Don’t you fret it could still get worse yet” C G D G “There’s a decision that hasn’t been made”
[Bridge]
C G You just never know how things will go G D G C G Sometimes you should just stay in bed C G The road twists and turns but we never learn G D C G That sooner or later we’re dead
[Verse 5]
G D G He said “The living believe in two choices.” G D G “Heaven or in some cases hell” G D G C “The truth you see is there actually three” C G D G “Should we bother to keep you at all”
[Verse 6]
G D G “Have you lived in service to others?” G D G “Or have you skirted, cheated and lied?” G D G C “The answer for you seems that neither are true” C G D G “So I’m sending you back the other side”
[Bridge]
C G You just never know how things will go G D G C G Sometimes you should just stay in bed C G The road twists and turns but we never learn G D C G That sooner or later we’re dead
[Verse 7]
G D G C G I came to with my face in the dirt G D G C G Feeling somewhat controvert G D G C As I pushed back his stone I noticed the poem C G D G “See you soon. No regrets. Didn’t hurt.”
