Let Me Down

[Verse 1]
You left me stuck in Indian Cove, but I guess that's me to blame
I hitchhiked back to Shreveport in the eye of a hurricane
I carried you through to Mexico when you didn't know your name
When you let the fire die that night, things ain't been the same

[Chorus]
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down

[Verse 2]
You left the back door open with a note up on the bed
Reminding me that what we had is over and dead
You even left the cupboard bare, not even a piece of bread
I've been dying inside this house of hell hanging by a thread

[Chorus]
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down

[Verse 3]
When the clock runs out, my friend, you'll hear the church bells toll
Save those crocodile tears, you better save 'em all
Just follow the long black limousine and lower me in the hole
When I finally meet St. Peter, I'm gonna pray for your soul

[Chorus]
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down
When I'm dead, when I'm gone, put me in the ground
One last time, one last time you can let me down

[Outro]
One last time, one last time you can let me down
You can let me down
