(Verse) Momma I know the well is dry Sing me a song one more time The wind is raging and the birds won't fly Nothing to eat and nowhere to hide
Momma is gonna be alright Tell me the story just one more time Where the grass is green and the water runs wild Where forever is forever and no-one has to die
(Chorus) Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna Cause you can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt
(Verse) Momma, I know I'm ready now I'm not afraid, and you don't need to cry Just close my eyes and wake up into a new life Momma, there's no need to cry
(Chorus) Because you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna Cause you can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt
