How Come I Ain't Dead

I begged her not to go, said I could not live without her

She said don't be dramatic, you'll survive

She drove away, the sky turned gray

I cried all night about her

I'm still breathin' but her leavin' hurts more

Each day I'm alive

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead

Six feet down in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head

But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead

I wake up every mornin' scared to open up my eyes

Don't know if I'll be there in the mirror

But there I am, a broken man

I look somewhat surprised

I'm grateful for another day

But amazed that I'm still here

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead

Six feet down in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head

But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead

Saint Peter's waitin' for me outside the pearly gates

But I'm waitin' on the angel band, I guess they're runnin' late

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead

Six feet down in the cold, cold ground

With a stone above my head

But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone

And I live on instead

If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead
