letra de overalls - emily scott robinson
[verse 1]
he wore overalls to meet his king
took a pack of marlboro reds and his wedding ring
and his fifty-year-long faithful bride
held his hand, walked him to the other side
he said “honey, i’m just so tired
“of bein’ hooked up to a hundred wires
“i wanna be in my own bed”
call the kids around and said
[chorus]
“raise a gl-ss
to my good long life
don’t dress in black
don’t let me see you cry
i’m not afraid
i’m just headed home
and it’s time to let me go”
[verse 2]
“i probably shouldn’t have survived
april 1945
we buried half my company
and i wondered why it wasn’t me
“well that’s the year i learned to pray
just glad to wake up every day
i’m bound to see those boys again
rolling dice and cigarettes in heaven”
[chorus]
“so raise a gl-ss
to my good long life
don’t dress in black
don’t let me see you cry
i’m not afraid
i’m just headed home
and it’s time to let me go”
[verse 3]
“well you know, we kissed the ground after j-pan
came home to be a mailman
right here in crossville, tennessee
i bought this farm to raise a family
“we planned for four, but we had five
your baby sister was a big surprise
i know i don’t have much to show
but i’m the richest man i know”
[chorus]
“so raise a gl-ss
to my good long life
don’t dress in black
don’t let me see you cry
i’m not afraid
i’m just headed home
and it’s time to let me go
it’s time to let me go”
[outro]
he wore overalls to meet his king
took a pack of marlboro reds and his wedding ring
