The Dead Don't Die

The Dead Don't Die - Sturgill Simpson

Oh the dead don't die

Anymore than you or I

They're just ghosts inside a dream

Of a life that we don't own

They walk around sometimes

Never payin' any mind

To the silly lives we lead

Or the reaping we've all sown

There's a cup of coffee waiting on every corner

Someday we're gonna wake up

And find the corner's gone

But the dead will still be walking

'Round this ol' world alone

Oh well after life is over the afterlife goes on

There'll be old friends walking 'round

In a somewhat-familiar town

That you saw once when

You looked up from your phone

Nobody bothers saying hi

And you can save all your goodbyes

Stop trying to pretend that we're all not alone

And the streets look so empty in the morning

There'll be no one out at night

For the lights to shine down on

But the dead'll still be walking 'round

In this old world alone

Oh well after life is over the afterlife goes on

Hearts break when loved ones journey on

At the thought that they're now forever gone

So we tell ourselves they're all still around us

All the time

Gone but not forgotten just memories left behind

But the dead'll still be walking 'round

In this old world alone

Oh well after life is over the afterlife goes on

Oh well after life is over the afterlife goes on
