Dirtnap Stories

                           
There was a woman who loved her man
                                
More than she loved herself
                       
Dirtnap one day took him away
                               
Left her screaming for help

Chorus
                                
And I said how does it feel
                                  
And I said how does it feel
                                       
Like all God’s promises are broken
                                       
Like all God’s promises are broken
                                       
Like all God’s promises are broken
                                        
It’s like dying on Christmas day
                                        
It’s like dying on Christmas day
                                
Before all gifts are open

I knew a man who had a friend
He loved in his own special way
He held his friend close in his arms
And his friend just melt away

Chorus

I had a love, a love of all loves
But the dirtnap covered her well
And the pain from the knife that cut us apart
Won’t stop on this side of hell

Chorus
