How Come I Ain't Dead

I begged her not to go, said I could not live without her

She said, don't be dramatic, you'll survive

She drove away, the sky turned gray



I cried all night about her

I'm still breathin' but her leavin' hurts more

Each day I'm alive



If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?

Six feet down, in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head



But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?



I wake up in the mornin', scared to open up my eyes

I don't know, if I'll be there in the mirror

But there I am, a broken man



I look somewhat surprised

I'm grateful for another day

But amazed that I'm still here



If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?

Six feet down, in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head



But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?



Saint Peter's waitin' for me outside the pearly gates

But I'm waitin' on the angel band, I guess they're runnin' late



If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?

Six feet down, in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head



But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?



Yes, somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead?
