ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE Sign in or register

 
There's a dead hobo on the patio
And an old barbed wire on the funeral fire
Well you roll out the carpet and it better be red
And it better be long as the troubles in my head
Gonna be living one foot in the grave

Well I was sitting at home cooking up a steak
Satan came down dressed like a snake
Well he called my name as I turned up the flames
And then I realized I was out of mayonnaise
Well you been living one foot in the grave

Yeah don't go throwing no coupons on my grave
Don't go carving no happy face on my tombstone

Roll out the carpet and it better be red

One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave

Alright. I want everybody's rhythmic abilities in check right now. Come on everybody. Strong. Aww man that's loud.

I was sitting at home cooking up a steak
Devil came down dressed like a snake
What do you got
I said not much
He said you're always gonna look but you never gonna touch
You'll be living one foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave

How about I want everyone to rock this with me. Oh we are in a church actually. Stained glass. There's only one way which we are all gonna leave this room at peace with ourselves this fine afternoon. I want everyone to join on with me. If you feel that you have a dead camera on the line. If you like you can stay in the back with one foot in the grave. I want you to join me on right now. You gotta do one thing.
