Thomas Owen - Six Feet Deep

Let me tell you about a man who always swore up and down
Looked my mama in the eyes and said he'd always be around
I'm not calling him a liar, but he couldn't keep his word
Now he's got me and my mama digging up the dirt
Six feet deep
Six feet deep

Late nights and early mornings, eight days a week
He said, "I only live this life so you can live yours better than me
If only there was just some other way, but I'm in too deep, I can't get out"
Now my daddy's got his wishes made, he's sleeping in the ground
Six feet deep
Six feet deep

So I pick up a shovel and I get to work to make my daddy proud
I get to breaking up the cold dark earth, sweat's falling from my brow
If only you'd have lived a different life, you'd have left mine up to me
You left behind your only son and wife to lay you down in peace
Six feet deep
Six feet deep
Six feet deep
