The '59 Sound

Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
 I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
 When we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms
 I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
 'Cause the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
 And the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
 Did you hear the '59 sound
 Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
 Did you hear the rattlin' chains
 In the hospital walls?
 Did you hear the old gospel choir
 When they came to carry you over?
 Did you hear your favorite song
 One last time?
 And I wonder, were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
 See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body
 And they told me on the front lawn, I'm sorry I couldn't go
 But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
 And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
 And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
 Did you hear the '59 sound
 Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
 Did you hear the rattlin' chains
 In the hospital walls?
 Did you hear the old gospel choir
 When they came to carry you over?
 Did you hear your favorite song
 One last time?
 Young boys, young girls
 Young boys, young girls
 Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
 Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
 Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
 Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
 Did you hear the '59 sound
 Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
 Did you hear the rattlin' chains
 In the hospital walls?
 Did you hear the old gospel choir
 When they came to carry you over?
 Did you hear your favorite song
 One last time?
 Young boys, young girls
