Can't Afford to Die

Dad ended up in a hole

Bless his soul

Without a stone for his grave

Cuz I ain't got a buck saved

Trade what he had left for debt

I'm drowning into deep regret

Guitars, amplifiers all left behind

And a long career once resigned

Chorus

Can't afford to live, Can't afford to die

They want your money, from dusk to dawn

Can't afford to live, Can't afford to die

They still want your money, when you're dead and gone

 

You can be a good man all your life

But on judgement day child

They gonna get a shovel, dig a hole

Throw your body 6 feet in the ground and free your soul

 

He never wrote his will

And I can't pay his final bill

A musician tradition now, start go-fund for your death bed

Always on the edge, forever in the red.

Chorus

No matter who you are and where you're from

The worst is yet to come

When you can't afford the plot's price

They won't think about it twice

Soon enough they'll dig up your body

An appalling and real tragedy

Ditch you in the poor folk mass grave

A wondering ghost who longs to be saved

Chorus
