Tombstone Rattle

Last stop, end of the line
Ain’t no one ready when it comes their time
But when your number’s called you know you gotta punch that card

Cause it’s one for the money, two for the show
So tip your server cause we all gotta go
The dyin’ part is easy, it’s the livin’ that’s hard

And I don’t lose no sleep worryin’ ‘bout how or when
Prayin’ on salvation while I’m layin’ all my chips on sin

When I’m all dressed up to stare down judgment day
Don’t even bother to roll that stone away
I’m ridin’ out into that sunset, I’m shinin’ up my saddle
Cause when I go down lord it’s gonna be a battle
Babe I make the tombstone rattle

So are you happy with the state you’re in?
The sweet taste of bitter medicine
I hope you got more, more for your troubles than just a lousy t-shirt

And you can cry about your glory days
But the chips don’t always fall your way
Your foundation is only as strong as the shakin’ dirt

And I ain’t never been no stranger to singin’ the blues
Cause when you ain’t got nothing, baby you ain’t got nothin’ to lose

When I’m all dressed up to stare down judgment day
Don’t even bother to roll that stone away
I’m ridin’ out into that sunset, I’m shinin’ up my saddle
Cause when I go down lord it’s gonna be a battle
Babe I make the tombstone rattle

But you won’t catch me rollin’ over in my grave
Thinkin’ back and wishin’ on all the shits I never gave

When I’m all dressed up to stare down judgment day
Don’t even bother to roll that stone away
I’m ridin’ out into that sunset, I’m shinin’ up my saddle
Cause when I go down lord it’s gonna be a battle
Babe I make the tombstone rattle
