Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left me stuck in Indian Cove, but I guess that's me to blame I hitchhiked back to Shreveport in the eye of a hurricane I carried you through to Mexico when you didn't know your name When you let the fire die that night, things ain't been the same [Chorus] When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down [Verse 2] You left the back door open with a note up on the bed Reminding me that what we had is over and dead You even left the cupboard bare, not even a piece of bread I've been dying inside this house of hell hanging by a thread [Chorus] When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down [Verse 3] When the clock runs out, my friend, you'll hear the church bells toll Save those crocodile tears, you better save 'em all Just follow the long black limousine and lower me in the hole When I finally meet St. Peter, I'm gonna pray for your soul [Chorus] When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground One last time, one last time you can let me down [Outro] One last time, one last time you can let me down You can let me down
