I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to that undertaker
undertaker please drive slow
for this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go
Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
in the sky, Lord, in the sky

One more night ...
City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But I can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone
There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone
Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now<

Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time

I got me a brand new car, waitin' in the driveway
Shining like a bright new star
Been wishin' on it everyday
To take me away from here.
So I called into where I worked
Told a little white lie
No, my back don't really hurt, but that's my aliby
My temporary ticket to anywhere but there
Call it an early weekend, call it goin' off the deep end
Call it what you want I've made up my mind
I dont have to be me til Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I aint gonna face reallity
3 days without punchin a time clock, 3 nights goin non-stop
No work, all play! I dont h
