Lyrics The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers

Neon Tombstone

I see the backbone of a thin man

Ribs comin' out of his chest

Got the same troubles as a tin man

His heart is a rusted mess

He keeps chasing those bomb shells

With a painted on smile

They don't give it him the time of day

But that's the full reason he cries

He cries

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

Because I'm not ready to let go of her pain

I'm not ready for heaven so let me off of this train

He said he wants a neon tombstone

When it's his time to go

Said he hate to be forgotten

When he is six feet below

And if you try to love him

He won't stay

Like's his love from a distance

He will just push you away

And he will say

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

Because I'm not ready to let go

Of the pain

And I'm not ready for heaven

So let me off of this train

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again

Because I'm not ready to let go

Of the pain

And I'm not ready for heaven

So let me off this train

Let me off this train

I'm not ready for heaven

So let me off this train
