Talking up potential of my impending death
On the hotel room floor where I take my last breath
And no women, no men don't know my shame
They just know the empty and they know my name
Know my name
Don't have to talk myself into feeling fierce
Don't have to worry how my mouth hits your ears
Who I was before I met you is who I'll be again
I just took a detour, I just lost a friend
Lost a friend
Might not see me coming, but you'll hear them drums
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
The road is long and weary from those designer shines
It's easy to burn out, easy to fall behind
But I don't let it get me, I keep moving on
I'm learning to accept I'm better off alone
Alone
And like a shadow on the sun
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
Daddy quit smoking so he could walk the hills
When he bought the farm, it paid off his bills
But he got cancer shy of eighty-eight
So he flipped off the devil, said, "Hey, I did great
I did great"
She'll scatter my ashes where the river runs
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
When she comes
She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes
(Old six white horses when she comes)
They'll all come see her when she comes
(All around the mountain) When she comes
