estate planning

my heart just stopped beating
and my body grows real cold
i thought I was too young
now I won't be growin' old
somethings are better left unsaid
somethings are better not
takin' time to figure
but time's the one that I ain't got

dead as a door nail
deader than my Pa
dead as dead can be
I'll see ya later Ma.
I'm dead as dead can be
now get back in my car

my breath is long forgotten
my words were never spoke
I thought I had the money
but you know I was always broke
somethings are better left undone
somethings are better did
i'm glad we had forever
I guess i'm ok with all them kids

now i'm dead as a door nail
deader than my dad
dead as dead can be
you know it isn't bad
dead as dead can be
and you know it makes me glad

my flesh dissolves so slowly
six feet below the grass
i remember your kisses
and how you said 'this too shall pass'
somethings are better in the darkness
somethings are better light
i tried to live ok
but i never got it quite right

dead as a doornail
deader than my dreams
dead as dead can be
guess i was always wronger than I seemed
dead as dead can be
dead as anyone you seen

dead as a doornail
deader than my Pa
dead as dead can be
I'll see ya later Ma
dead as dead can be
I'll see ya later Ma
dead as dead can be..
now hop right in my car...
