lyrics

Dead And Gone
written by Dave Insley
(3:33)

My wife and my girlfriend met at my funeral
Well I guess they got along just famously
I heard they got a lot in common
They both loved me while I was hitting rock bottom
And they both cried, and waited patiently

But now I'm dead and gone
I had to say "so long"
At least I died with my boots on
But I'm still dead & gone

My credit cards all caught up with each other
Well I was just one step ahead of them each day
I guess someone’s gonna have to pay ‘em
But not me, I think I’m going to just lay here
Because I ain’t got the strength to do much anyway

My pets have found a new home they love better
And the mailman he just throws my things away
I guess I really don't need those letters
They ain’t a-gonna make me feel no better
Ever since the good lord took my breath away....
