cocaine
killed my baby but it won't kill me
buried her beneath those lonesome plains
buried her beneath that lone prairie
we were married when we were young
preacher sung us good psalms
every morning I'd work on the farm
she'd get to nothing but trouble and harm
chorus
built our home with my own hands
a man's work, muscle on bone
my wife left our house threadbare
never had bread and we never had milk
chorus
very last time I saw my girl
she was riding out to the store
on that bicycle I bought her
some were born to leave this world
chorus
