[00:21.77] Well I wonder which song they’re gonna play when we go
[00:28.23] I hope it’s something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
[00:33.86] When we float out into the ether, into the everlasting arms
[00:39.22] I hope we don’t hear Marley’s chains we forged in life
[00:45.14] ‘Cause the chains I’ve been hearing now for most of my life
[00:48.62] The chains I’ve been hearing now for most of my life
[00:51.50] Did you hear the ’59 sound coming through on Grandmama’s radio?
[00:56.54] Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
[01:01.84] Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
[01:07.82] Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
[01:13.04]
[01:14.15] And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
[01:19.52] See, I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body
[01:24.66] And they told me on the front lawn, I’m sorry I couldn’t go
[01:30.91] But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
[01:36.46] And I know ‘cause we were kids and we used to hang
[01:40.15] I know ‘cause we were kids and we used to hang
[01:42.95] Did you hear the ’59 sound coming through on Grandmama’s radio?
[01:48.07] Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
[01:53.17] Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
[01:59.20] Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
[02:04.38]
[02:05.49] Young boys, young girls
[02:10.65] Young boys, young girls
[02:16.70] Ain’t supposed to die on a Saturday night.
[02:19.75] Ain’t supposed to die on a Saturday night.
