"A Lot Of People Gone" lyrics

A lot of people gone
A lot of people gone

Our dead are never dead to until we have forgotten them
RIP

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
How could you leave me on my own?
You know I hate being alone
I don't ever let it show

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
I miss you deep inside my soul
Can't believe it's been so long
I won't ever let you go

Woke up this morning. I was lost
Got all wrapped up in my thoughts
The fact that you're not here to talk
Left me feeling so distraught
I wish that we could take a walk
Or even just go for a drive
I remember all the times
And how fast that they fly by
Used to look you in your eyes
But now I look up to the skies
I know that yo are in heaven
Watching over me and mine
Pay attention to the signs
You're the reason that I shine
Every memory I cherish
No a thought was left behind

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
How could you leave me on my own?
You know I hate being alone
I don't ever let it show

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
I miss you deep inside my soul
Can't believe it's been so long
I won't ever let you go

Sometimes, it helps me carry on
Putting pain into these songs
Move around like I'm a ghost
Other artists do the most
Got a lump stuck in my throat
Feel like I'm gonna choke
If I didn't have this pain
What would keep the fire stoked?

I went to the cemetery
Said a prayer and left a rose
Really felt it left a hole
Deep depression diagnosed
When I saw the casket close
I had lost all of my hope
Thought of hanging up the rope
Then an angel told me, "Nope
It's gon' be a crazy journey
Keep your eyes on the road."
All my people that are gone
They've been with me all along
Reading letters that you wrote
Made me feel I'm not alone
I will never let you go

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
How could you leave me on my own?
You know I hate being alone
I don't ever let it show

I got a lot of people gone
They ain't ever coming home
They ain't ever coming home
I miss you deep inside my soul
Can't believe it's been so long
I won't ever let you go
