John Campbell - Tiny Coffin lyrics

It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old, It takes a small hole in the ground. It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old, It takes a small hole in the ground. You could fill it up with my tears and rage, As they lowered Billy down. Shotgun blast from a moving car, It just don't make no sense. Shotgun blast from a moving car, It just don't make no sense. They say they were aiming for someone else, But they put Billy in the past tense. I knelt by his mama as she weeped in pain. I asked her what could I do? I knelt by his mama as she weeped in pain. I asked her what could I do? She said, "Pray for me and the neighborhood, And pray the next time it ain't you." They piled in the Chevy - five angry young men, It's the law of the jungle for them. They piled in the Chevy - five angry young men, It's the law of the jungle for them. They know where to find the gunman, And Billy has to be revenged. It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old, It takes a small hole in the ground. It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old, It takes a small hole in the ground. Tiny coffin Tiny coffin
