Mel Tillis – Buried Alive

When she left I locked the door and pulled the shades

Now I’m living in a six room grave

All my reasons for living have died so I’m living buried alive

I just exist with nothing but sorrow I don’t know if it’s today or tomorrow

I’m through living with the world outside so I’m living buried alive

I just can’t believe she’s gone I’ve been too weak to cry

Now I sit and wait for teardops to fill my lonely eyes

My headstone is just a mailbox on the street

And the flowers she planted make it complete

Now this home is like a grave inside so I’m living buried alive

[ steel ]

Yes I’m living buried alive
