The Dirt Lyrics

momma, I know the well is dry
sing me a song one more time
the wind is raging and the birds won't fly
nothing to eat and nowhere to hide
momma, I know the well is dry
tell me the stories one more time
where the grass is green and the water runs wild
where forever is forever and no one has to die

'cause you can't drink the dirt
even if you wanna
you can't eat the dirt
even if you wanna
you can't breathe the dirt
even if you wanna
but you'll be in the dirt
you will be the dirt
momma, I know I'm ready now
I'm not afaid, you don't need to cry
I'll just close my eyes and wake up to a new life
momma, there's no need to cry
'cause you can't drink the dirt
even if you wanna
you can't eat the dirt
even if you wanna
you can't breathe the dirt
even if you wanna
but you'll be in the dirt
you will be the dirt
