Vern Gosdin - Dead from the Heart on Down lyrics

My friends all came around to say goodbye And to see if there was something they could do But they knew from the tears that filled my eyes There was just one way to get me over you They may as well just lay my soul to rest And place pretty flowers on my chest In my head the world still turns around But I'm dead from the heart on down Take me in that long black limousine To the church yard on the other side of town Just lay me down with all my shattered dreams Cause I'm dead from the heart on down You may as well just lay my soul to rest And place pretty flowers on my chest In my head the world still turns around But I'm dead from the heart on down Yes I'm dead from the heart on down
