"Take Me To The Graveyard" lyrics

"Take Me To The Graveyard"

Take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know

Oh, grandpappa
I wish I woulda listened
Someday I'm gonna hug you
We're gonna go fishing
Oh, grandmama
You always knew
Someday I
Won't have to miss you

So, take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know

Oh my buddy
You must be wiser now
You went too soon
Or I'm late somehow
Look here partner
I shed no tear
You were the bravest
Now there ain't no fear

So, take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know

Up in the sky
With the white robed saints
Everything that is
Someday ain't
Who'm I to fight it
Time rolls on
You know the boss
I just know the song

So, take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll die later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know

I wanna tell 'em thank you
For giving it a try
For hurting and a-loving
For living this life
I wanna tell 'em thank you
I'm glad you came
Without everybody
The place wouldn't be the same

So, take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know

Take me to the graveyard
Let me see the stones
If today ain't the day
I know I'll die later on
Take me to the graveyard
Really wanna go
Talk to the departed
Tell me what you know
