Dead And Done

Heaven is a place where people die pretty

Stars don't lie and there's cash in the kitty

Running from the rocks, there's water for the lips

To ease your mouth and bathe your fist

There's no need for trouble when the road's all down

The body's out of work cause the minds in town

The circus has been twice already

My throwing arm is good and my heart is steady

I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field

In an Autumn field

Tell my momma not to worry

The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny

and I'm well known round a-bout

The local pick pocket it a lay-about

Tell my daddy oh there's no need for washing

They do it in your sleep when you're not watching

I've already had the neighbors here

Johnny Cash came about and we split a beer

I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field

In an Autumn field

Oh

The girls up here sure look swell

They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell

The local priest says there's no need for cheatin'

The local wags call it meetin' and a-greetin'

I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
