Bury The Dead

There's a long parade crawling up the hillFollowing a shiny black Coupe DeVilleThere's a tall pine tree. It's a pretty good plotIt's a hell of a view, a real nice spotThe ground's real hardIt's sure been hotI bury the dead for a livingI hate it when business is goodSo many tearsFall around hereI'd take the day off if I couldIf I could, ohThis guy must have had him a pretty good lifeIt's the biggest crowd I've seen in a whileThe preacher gonna say he's in a better placeEverybody gonna sing "Amazing Grace"Don't know much about GodI'm just out here doing my jobI bury the dead for a livingI hate it when business is goodAnd so many tearsFall around hereI'd take the day off if I couldIf I could, ohI'm just somebody nobody seesBut I never feel aloneThe shadows and the breezeKeep me companyIn this field of trees and stonesWhen the crowd thins out, it's "Back to work"Just me and a shovel, and this pile of dirtSay what you want about where we goI just know there's more to it than a six-foot holeYeah, I bury the dead for a livingI hate it when business is goodAnd so many tearsFall around hereI'd take a day off if I couldIf I couldIf I could, oh
