Six Feet Underground

I knew I’d regret the day we met
Underneath those dark and stormy skies
Something gnawing at my brain it smelled like rain
I could see trouble on the rise

I said from the start, “i m a restless heart
Bound to ramble and to roam”
She said, “we’ll just be friends, i don’t intend
To tie you up or take you home”

I knew that I’d come to dread
That moonless night when we shared her bed
In the morning about the break of day
I said, “it’s time to leave and I’ll be on my way’

She brushed back her hair with a cold dark stare
Silence can be a deadly sound
Say what you will, if looks could kill
I’d be six feet under ground

With nothing left to say, i turned to walk away
It was over but she had other plans
Eyes turning red, with a tear she said
Boy, you just don’t understand

Temptation was to blame, it changed the game
The day that Adam said to Eve
I’ll take one bite of that apple red and ripe
And girl, you sure look good to me

And now I’m running for my life
She’s on my trail every day and night
Like a hound dog nipping at my heels
She won’t give up until my fate is sealed

She’s all dressed in black stands in back
Undertaker comes to lay me down
She will not morn, that woman’s scorn
Put me six feet underground
