Well I’ve been fooled And I’ve fooled around No sense to lie About where I’m bound
But once it’s light And we’re home Won’t be no time to burn
Burn through the night And throw me away Ten shovels deep On mother’s day
But once it’s light And we’re home Won’t be no time to burn
And the names In the fridge Gonna have to wait their turn
See I’m dressed and I’m done Yeah I’m comin for the sun And I’ve got to get some rest
And oh, won’t you cover my face I’m lookin pale and it is time to go home Beneath the veil mother feels so alone Beneath the veil she’s so alone
You know I’m scared Scared straight to hell Just hear my voice And know I’m not well
But once it’s light And we’re home Won’t be no time to burn
And the names In the fridge Gonna have to wait their turn
See I’m dressed and I’m done Yeah I’m comin for the sun And I’ve got to get some
[Chorus]
And oh, won’t you make me up nice While I’m around, before I get out of town Beneath the ground there is barely a sound Beneath the ground there’s not a sound
