Six Feet of Sod
Loretta Lynn · God Bless American Again [1972]
(Betty Sue Perry)
Sometimes life can lead you in a lonely hopeless race
I know I'd have trouble keepin' up my neighbor's face
But when we're dead no one's ahead the race belongs to God
And he'll even stop the difference beneath six feet of sod.
In time six feet of sod he'll make us all the same
God will play no favour to our visdom wealth or fame
He cast aside each man who dies we'll all belong to God
And he'll even stop the difference beneath six feet of sod.
--- Instrumental ---
In time six feet of sod he'll make us all the same
God will play no favour to our visdom wealth or fame
And every man must make his stand along before his God
And he'll even stop the difference beneath six feet of sod...
