And How I Missed You

When to dust my flesh and bone lies

Bugs will eat the blue-gray from my eyes

God will take me, body and soul,

Then throw me in a deep dark hole

But hell will have no place for me

So I'll be flung unto the sea

Where the tempest shall spin and shout

And say, "No way," then spit me out

Across the grasslands, I s'pose I'll roam

A ghostly soul without a home

Oh, not for any evil deed

Nor any planted evil seed

No wicked sin I committed

Kept me from afterlife permitted

Though it's all nice, you can believe,

You weren't there, so I asked to leave.
