Six Feet Down And Rising Lyrics

It's a twisted bit of a backwoods rhythm

You hear the ghost and go get with 'em

The strings are cut from electric wire

Six feet down and rising

Yesterday has all the feeling

Here today has got you reeling

Walk the roads like a broken soul

Six feet down and rising

Friends go by but they can't see me

Love is lost in my memory

Where have all the flowers gone

Six feet down and rising

Time is just way too fickle

The minutes pull the hours trickle

Look into my hollow eyes

Six feet down and rising

There's a lot of life in this dead thing yet

Hold the line and dress the fret

Dip your shoes in some trophy bronze

Earn that ground that you walk on

Mama knows you ain't no square

Pull some magic from out of thin air

Picking out dirt from every suture

Got the strength to change my future

I'm the one I want to be

Six feet down and rising

My end is just a new beginning

This grin is full of what I'm winning

Walk the road and join with me

Six feet down and rising

Six feet down and rising

Six feet down and rising

Six feet down and rising
