lyrics

I go walking on my grave
Just to see where I will be
To see where I’ll spend eternity

I raised the money
To buy where they will bury me
Where the roots will one day cover me

CHORUS
Walking on my grave x2
Walking

I stand up on the hill
And look down at all the trees
The things I will not see

Maybe for the family
This place will bring them peace
But me, I have a greater need

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’m gonna get me a shovel
Dig to the bottom of the hole
I’m gonna lay myself down
And take a look around
Gonna stare up at the sky
And watch the clouds roll by
Gonna see if it feels like home

I go walking on my grave
And I’ll carry it all my days
Until I pass away
