Buried Alive

Mel Tillis · Great Mel Tillis [Gusto] [1979]

(Billy Swan)



When she left I locked the door and pulled the shades

Now I'm living in a six room grave

All my reasons for living have died

So I'm living buried alive.



I just exist with nothing but sorrow

I don't know if it's today or tomorrow

I'm through living with the world outside

So I'm living buried alive.



I just can't believe she's gone

I've been too weak to cry

Now I sit and wait for

Teardops to fill my lonely eyes.



My headstone is just a mailbox on the street

And the flowers she planted make it complete

Now this home is like a grave inside

So I'm living buried alive.

Yes, I'm living buried alive...
