nashville grass

• big sugar in brothers and sisters are you ready albumunden
  
  someone tell me, do you know
  where did allen woody go and were you there?
  i was told with great remorse
  he fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair
  
  southern daylight hurts my eyes
  standing under southern skies as i stare
  somewhere down in tennessee
  the scene was all too much for me to bear
  
  all my good friends, gather around
  on the nashville burial ground
  
  nashville grass that the sun burned brown
  ashes to ashes we all fall down
  we all got to stand in the same judgement
  for a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
  nashville grass singing one more song
  carry him along, boys, carry him along
  i saw these things come to pass
  standing on the nashville grass
  
  standing in the sunday suit
  i saw his own black cowboy boots
  
  tell me someone, do you know
  where did allen woody go and were you there?
  were you there?
  i was there
  
  nashville grass that the sun burned brown
  ashes to ashes we all fall down
  we all got to stand in the same judgement
  for a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
  
  nashville grass singing one more song
  carry him along, boys, carry him along
  i saw these things come to pass
  standing on the nashville grass
