Nashville Grass - Big Sugar

Someone tell me, do you know

Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?

I was told with great remorse

He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair

Southern daylight hurts my eyes

Standing under southern skies as I stare

Somewhere down in Tennessee

The scene was all too much for me to bear

All my good friends, gather around

On the Nashville burial ground

Nashville grass that the sun burned brown

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

We all got to stand in the same judgement

For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent

Nashville grass singing one more song

Carry him along, boys, carry him along

I saw these things come to pass

Standing on the Nashville grass

Standing in the Sunday suit

I saw his own black cowboy boots

Tell me someone, do you know

Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?

Were you there?

I was there

Nashville grass that the sun burned brown

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

We all got to stand in the same judgement

For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent

Nashville grass singing one more song

Carry him along, boys, carry him along

I saw these things come to pass

Standing on the Nashville grass
