Peace In The Pines Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put me to peace in the pines
Don't bother with those white and yellow lines
Take me to the land where I was dealt my hand
Put me to peace in the pines
Lay me down beside my mother and my brother
And to the left of my old man
Just an old pine box, 72 inches underneath that all black sand

[Chorus]
So take this body home, my soul has gone away
To a better place
And don't let 'em see me, 'cause you know I will be cryin'
And I'd hate to see my baby's face
And I'd hate to see my baby's face

[Verse 2]
Roll me away in a horse drawn wagon
So I can feel the bumps in the road And make sure ol' Blue is there with his ol' tail waggin'
He'll go home when I go cold
And tell my buddies that I'll see them when I see them
And that I had a hell of a time
I'll never forget all the times that we wasted
Trying to make the end of that story rhyme

[Chorus]
So take this body home, my soul has gone away
To a better place
And don't let 'em see me, 'cause you know I will be cryin'
And I'd hate to see my baby's face
And I'd hate to see my baby's face

[Outro]
Put me to peace in the pines
Don't bother with those white and yellow lines
