Bob Weir & Ratdog - Bury Me Standing

Bury Me Standing

Once again the crossroads and there
Ain't no moon hangin in the trees
Goddess lost my number, babe
Leave me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
Cause I've been too long on my knees

Angel and the devil, babe
They be walking side by side
Hammer on each other, babe
Never one be satisfied
Bury me standing
Just the last place left to hide

Nothing you can figure, babe
Nothing you can fix
Ain't much of nothing to it, babe
Just a couple tricks

Ooh
Now I know you know that song
Bury me standing
Cause I've been crawling way too long

Got a fist full of trouble, babe
And one more will get you three
Spent whole life shakin' peaches, babe
Poison peaches, trouble tree
If I could change my way of living
Well it would mean so much to me

Blue smoke in the bar room, babe
Tattooed muscle, beer for beer
Brown bottles and whiskey, babe
Got a pay phone to my ear
Woman made me love her
Now some dude tells me she ain't here

Give me whiskey for whiskey, babe
Give me blow for blow
Give me whole lot of nothing, babe
But to go down slow
Give me fire for fire, babe
Give me ice for ice
Give me something to live for, babe
Now I'm asking nice

Ooh
Whoa, God damn eternal tease
Bury me standing
I been a lifetime on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be

Once again the crossroads and there
Ain't no moon hangin in the trees
Goddess tossed my number, babe
Leave me begging, baby please
Bury me standing
I been a lifetime on my knees
Bury me at the crossroads
Lay me down and let me be

Let me be
Lay me down and let me be...
