Nice to Know Ya

Local gravestones been disappearing at a rapid rate

Granite marked with charcoal tracings and forgotten dates

See their names and imagine I could see their face

And hear stories robbed by time, wind, and torrential rain

Nice to know ya

Yard sale bibles boxed and loaded, five for a dime

Through the ages, onion skin pages smeared by time

Family trees, dedications and verses underlined

Meant something to someone, now it means nothing, what a crime

Nice to know ya

Time's not waiting for no one, remember what's true

Don't waste no time studying signs and regretting all we didn't do

Nice to know ya

I better be goin'
