How Come I Ain`t Dead — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

I begged her not to go, said I could not live without her
She said don`t be dramatic, you`ll survive
She drove away, the sky turned gray
I cried all night about her
I`m still breathin` but her leavin` hurts more
Each day I`m alive

If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead
Six feet down in the cold, cold ground
With a stone above my head
But somethin`s wrong `cause now she`s gone
And I live on instead
If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead

I wake up every mornin` scared to open up my eyes
Don`t know if I`ll be there in the mirror
But there I am, a broken man
I look somewhat surprised
I`m grateful for another day
But amazed that I`m still here

If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead
Six feet down in the cold, cold ground
With a stone above my head
But somethin`s wrong `cause now she`s gone
And I live on instead
If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead

Saint Peter`s waitin` for me outside the pearly gates
But I`m waitin` on the angel band, I guess they`re runnin` late

If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead
Six feet down in the cold, cold ground
With a stone above my head
But somethin`s wrong `cause now she`s gone
And I live on instead
If I can`t live without her, how come I ain`t dead
