She left me in the darkness
All alone
She abandoned all the good times
And the love I thought we had
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Walking down the aisle
Traveling throught the graveyard
Counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carryin' the dead
Carryin' the dead
She don't call me, and she don't try to
And my prayin' can't bring her back
My eyes are wide open
Watchin' my future fade to black
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Walking down the aisle
Traveling throught the graveyard
Counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carryin' the dead
Carryin' the dead
I've pondered tradin' places
With the man layin' in that hearse
I try to hold my head up
But her leavin' is like a curse
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Walking down the aisle
Traveling throught the graveyard
Counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carryin' the dead
Carryin' the dead
Carryin' the dead
