Graves

By Whiskey Shivers

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

HWho's gonna dig these graves?
Who's gonna dig these graves?
Somebody help me dig these graves, I can't do it on my own


Preacher tells ya, "Jesus saves"
All in a full work day
Steady busy getting paid, he can't do it on his own

CHORUS


Dollars in a golden tray
You know that somebody has to pay
Get the lord's paper straight, he can't do it on his own

CHORUS


Smell like it's gonna rain
Forty nights and forty days

Rounding up the last few strays, but I can't do it on my own

CHORUS


Sun done run out of rays

And I've been waiting on a south bound train

Trying not to go insane but, I can't do it all my own. Hey!


CHORUS x 2
