Overalls (Live)

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
 Bein' hooked up to a hundred wires
 I wanna be in my own bed
 Call the kids around and said
 Raise a glass
 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
 I probably shouldn't have survived
 April 1945
 We buried half my company
 And I wonder 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
 Rollin' dice and cigarettes in heaven
 So raise a glass
 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
 They know I kissed the ground after Japan
 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
 So raise a glass
 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
 He wore overalls to meet his king
 Took a pack of marlboro reds and his wedding ring
