Back Home Old Buddy

In the ward I said, "Don't die," and then she died I died and then I cried and then I cried My heart just had a deep down beating But grappling for the meaning Took me and my mouth down to X-Ray And me and my lady parted ways I'm coming back home, old buddy wait Don't tell me that you already ate He cornered me and I didn't let up He blistered me and I didn't let up He left for war and never came back That's all on time Took me and my mouth down to X-Ray And me and my lady parted ways I'm coming back home, old buddy wait Don't tell me that you already ate I'll be 71 and thinking of now The family out on the boat and beer on the bow The sea was cool and the earth hadn't melted down Took me and my mouth down to X-Ray And me and my lady parted ways I'm coming back home, old buddy wait Don't tell me that you already ate
