WHEN SHE COMES

Talkin’ the potential of my impending death

On a hotel room floor where I take my last breath

But they don’t really know me, they don’t know my shame

They just know they’re empty, and they know my name

Know my name

Don’t have to talk myself into being 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’d just lost a friend

Lost a friend

Might not see me coming but you’ll hear them drums

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes

When she comes

The road is long and weary for those designed to shine

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

Like a shadow on the sun

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes

When she comes

Daddy quit smoking so he could walk the hills

When he bought the farm and paid off his bills

He got cancer shy of 88

So he flipped off the devil, said hey, I did great

I did great

Shug…

Scatter my ashes where the river runs

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes

When she comes

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes

On six white horses when she comes

They’ll all come see her when she comes

Around the mountain when she comes
