Well I’ve been fooled 
And I’ve fooled around 
No sense to lie 
About where I’m bound 

But once it’s light 
And we’re home 
Won’t be no time to burn 

Burn through the night 
And throw me away 
Ten shovels deep 
On mother’s day

But once it’s light 
And we’re home 
Won’t be no time to burn

And the names 
In the fridge 
Gonna have to wait their turn 

See I’m dressed and I’m done 
Yeah [bad word] for the sun 
And I’ve got to get some rest 

And oh, won’t you cover my face 
I’m lookin pale and it is time to go home 
Beneath the veil mother feels so alone 
Beneath the veil she’s so alone 

You know I’m scared 
Scared straight to [bad word] 
Just hear my voice 
And know I’m not well 

But once it’s light 
And we’re home 
Won’t be no time to burn

And the names 
In the fridge 
Gonna have to wait their turn 

See I’m dressed and I’m done 
Yeah [bad word] for the sun 
And I’ve got to get some
 [bad word] 

And oh, won’t you make me up nice 
While I’m around, before I get out of town
Beneath the ground there is barely a sound 
Beneath the ground there’s not a sound
